Ninja Creami Keto Blackberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
Ingredients
1 cup heavy cream 🥛
1 cup unsweetened almond milk 🥥
1/2 cup powdered erythritol 🍬
4 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀
1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries 🫐
1 tsp vanilla extract 🌿
1/2 tsp lemon juice 🍋
A pinch of salt 🧂
1/2 tsp xanthan gum (optional, for a creamier texture) 🌾
Directions
- Prepare the blackberries: If using fresh blackberries, rinse them thoroughly. For frozen blackberries, let them thaw slightly. Mash the blackberries with a fork or blend them to your preferred consistency.
- Combine liquids: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and unsweetened almond milk until well combined.
- Sweeten it up: Add the powdered erythritol to the bowl. Whisk until it is fully dissolved, creating a smooth, sweet mixture.
- Blend the cream cheese: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. Slowly add the cream cheese to the cream mixture, whisking until fully incorporated.
- Add the flavor: Stir in the mashed blackberries, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. If using xanthan gum, sprinkle it in and whisk thoroughly to prevent clumping.
- Prepare to chill: Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container. Be sure not to fill past the max fill line. Seal the container with its lid.
- Freeze: Place the container in the freezer for at least 24 hours to allow the mixture to solidify completely.
- Process: Once frozen, remove the pint from the freezer and take off the lid. Insert the container into the Ninja Creami machine and process according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically using the “Ice Cream” setting.
- Serve: Scoop the creamy, keto blackberry cheesecake ice cream into bowls or cones. Enjoy immediately!

The Delight of Blackberries 🫐

Their natural sweetness and slight tartness complement the creamy cheesecake base perfectly, creating a balanced and delightful flavor.
Tips for Perfect Keto Ice Cream 🍦
- Sweetener Options: If you prefer, you can use other keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit sweetener or stevia. Adjust the amount to suit your taste.
- Texture Tips: For an even creamier texture, consider adding a tablespoon of MCT oil or avocado oil to the mixture before freezing.
- Storage: Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. If it becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
