Low Carb Thai-Style Lemongrass Ice Cream Recipe

I love making my own ice cream. Mostly because I can’t have dairy and it’s impossible to find both a low carb AND dairy free ice cream in the stores. It just doesn’t seem to exist. So I bought an ice cream maker and I’ve never looked back!

I enjoy playing off the flavors of the coconut milk simply because that’s what I most often use for making ice cream. So this time around, I played with some Thai flavors and ended up with this lovely and delicious ice cream.

This isn’t an overly sweet ice cream either. At least not as sweet as the store bought varieties. If you prefer a sweeter ice cream, I recommend adding a bit more stevia instead of more erythritol. But I promise, this is nice and sweet as it is. Just a gentle sweetness that is perfect after a larger meal or as an afternoon treat on a hot day.
