This easy keto butter pecan ice cream is rich, creamy, and packed with buttery toasted pecans, all made with a low-carb condensed milk base and no ice cream maker needed!

Ingredients

• For the keto condensed milk

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 2 tbsp butter

• 1/3 cup powdered erythritol or allulose

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• For the ice cream base

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

• For the buttered pecans:

• 3/4 cup chopped pecans

• 2 tbsp butter

• Pinch of salt

Directions

• Make the Keto Condensed Milk: In a saucepan, heat 1 cup heavy cream and 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Stir in the sweetener and simmer gently for 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from heat, add vanilla, and cool completely.
• Toast the Pecans: In a small skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add chopped pecans and a pinch of salt. Toast for 3–5 minutes until fragrant. Let cool.
• Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip 2 cups cold heavy cream with 1/2 tsp vanilla and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
• Combine: Gently fold the cooled condensed milk into the whipped cream. Fold in the buttered pecans, reserving a few for topping.
• Freeze: Transfer to a loaf pan or container. Sprinkle reserved pecans on top. Cover and freeze for at least 5 hours or overnight until firm.

Notes

• Allulose works best for a creamy texture, but powdered erythritol also works well.
• Make sure the heavy cream is cold for easy whipping and better volume.
• Store ice cream in an airtight container to avoid freezer burn and preserve creaminess.

Handy Tips for the Creamiest Scoop

• Use Cold Cream: For best results, whip the heavy cream straight from the fridge. It whips faster and gives better volume.
• Let It Soften Before Scooping: Remove from the freezer 5–10 minutes before serving for the creamiest texture.
• Toast the Pecans: Don’t skip toasting, this adds a deep, buttery flavor and crunch that makes a big difference.
• Use Allulose for Creaminess: Allulose keeps the ice cream soft and scoopable. Erythritol can make it a bit icier, so a mix can work well too.

Fun Ways to Switch It Up

• Dairy-Free Option: Use coconut cream in place of heavy cream and vegan butter for a delicious dairy-free version.
• Nut Swap: Try toasted walnuts or almonds instead of pecans for a twist on flavor.
• Extra Sweet: Add a few drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit if you like your ice cream a bit sweeter.
• Chocolate Chip Version: Stir in some sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate before freezing for a fun upgrade.
