Keto Blackberry Goat Cheese Ripple Ice Cream

If you have never tried goat cheese in ice cream, this is a great place to start. It adds a soft tang that works really well with sweet blackberries.

The result is a creamy, smooth ice cream with a fruity ripple running through it. Every scoop gives you a little bit of both flavors.

This recipe is low carb and keto friendly, so you can enjoy a cold treat without worrying about the sugar. I use allulose instead of regular sugar to keep the carbs down.

It does take a bit of time to chill and freeze, but most of that is just waiting. The actual work is simple.

Once you taste it, I think you will understand why this combination works so well together.

Recipe Ingredients

For The Blackberry Ripple

• 3/4 cup Blackberries
• 3 tbsp Allulose
• 1 tsp Lemon Juice

For The Ice Cream

• 1 1/2 cups Heavy Cream
• 1 1/4 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk
• 1/2 cup Powdered Allulose
• 4 oz Soft Goat Cheese
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1/8 tsp Xanthan Gum
• 1/8 tsp Fine Sea Salt

How To Make

Step 1

Combine the blackberries, allulose, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring and crushing the berries until thick and glossy.

Step 2

Press the blackberry mixture through a fine-mesh strainer and discard the seeds. Refrigerate the smooth ripple until completely cold.

Step 3

Blend the heavy cream, almond milk, powdered allulose, goat cheese, vanilla extract, xanthan gum, and sea salt until silky and uniform.

Step 4

Refrigerate the goat cheese mixture for at least 3 hours or until thoroughly chilled.

Step 5

Churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s directions until thick and creamy.

Step 6

Spoon the ice cream into a freezer-safe container, layering it with the blackberry ripple. Freeze for 3 to 4 hours before scooping.

Tips

Thicken the Blackberry Ripple

Cook the blackberry mixture until it looks glossy and leaves a clear trail when you move a spoon across the bottom of the pan. If it is still watery, cook it for another minute or two.

A thin ripple can make the ice cream icy. Keep in mind that the mixture will become thicker once it is strained and chilled.

Strain the Berries While Warm

Press the blackberry mixture through the fine mesh strainer while it is still warm. It passes through much more easily before it cools and thickens.

Use the back of a spoon to press the soft fruit through in small circles. This gives you a smooth ripple without seeds while keeping as much blackberry flavor as possible.

Add the Xanthan Gum Slowly

Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the liquid while the blender is running instead of adding it in one spot. This helps it blend evenly without forming small gelled clumps.

Measure the xanthan gum carefully because this small amount is enough. Too much can give the ice cream a stretchy or gummy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen blackberries for the ripple?

Yes, frozen blackberries work well here. Cook them straight from frozen, but expect the ripple to need a few extra minutes to thicken.

Let the strained ripple chill completely before layering it into the ice cream so it stays distinct and does not soften the churned mixture.
