Description

This Sugar Free Salted Caramel Ice Cream is a rich, creamy, and low-carb dessert that perfectly balances the luscious sweetness of sugar-free caramel with a hint of savory sea salt. Made with low carb vanilla protein powder, cream cheese, and unsweetened vanilla almond milk, this diabetic- and gluten-free treat is crafted specifically for the Ninja Creami Ice Cream Machine, delivering a smooth and indulgent frozen dessert without the guilt.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2.5 tablespoons low carb vanilla protein powder
  • 3 oz cream cheese
  • 1 ¾ cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Caramel Sauce

  • ¼ cup low carb caramel sauce (homemade low carb caramel sauce or Smucker’s sugar free caramel sauce)

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients: Gather all ingredients and ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy blending.
  2. Mix base ingredients: In a blender, combine the low carb vanilla protein powder, cream cheese, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend for about 30 seconds until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Freeze mixture: Pour the blended mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container and freeze for 24 hours, ensuring the mixture is fully solidified for optimal creaming results.
  4. Process ice cream: Remove the pint from the freezer and process it in the Ninja Creami using the smoothie or lite ice function to achieve a creamy ice cream texture.
  5. Add caramel swirl: Add ¼ cup of the low carb caramel sauce into the center well of the pint container and process again using the “mix-in” function to incorporate the caramel swirls evenly throughout the ice cream.
  6. Serve: Scoop the sugar free salted caramel ice cream into bowls or cones. Optionally, sprinkle with additional sea salt for an enhanced salted caramel experience and enjoy immediately.
  7. Alternative serving suggestion: Instead of mixing the caramel into the ice cream, use it as a topping or swirl it in manually with a spoon to control distribution and keep distinct caramel ribbons.

Notes

  • You can use store-bought sugar free caramel sauce if you prefer, but homemade low carb caramel sauce works best for flavor and sweetness control.
  • For best results, make sure the ice cream base is completely frozen before processing in the Ninja Creami.
  • Adjust the amount of sea salt based on your taste preference to balance the sweetness and saltiness.
  • This recipe is tailored for the Ninja Creami ice cream machine, so using other machines may require adjustments.
  • The recipe yield and nutrition info are based on four servings.
