Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cheesecake Ice Cream made with just a few ingredients and easy enough for a child to make at home! It's Keto, Low Carb, and can be made dairy free!
Making Healthy Sugar Free Ice Cream at Home
Making a healthier ice cream at home without sugar or eggs is pretty simple and one I now let my daughter make on her own. She just turned 12 and really loves being in the kitchen like me. Problem is I have taken over on most days and usually do the majority of kitchen chores since I'm constantly in the kitchen and of course it's "quicker" if I just do everything.
Bad news for me as a mom? I've made my kids too dependent on me and not self sufficient.
Finding a balance between allowing my kids to make their own meals and snacks, me not taking over and simply supervising is a goal I'm working towards and one I hope to achieve with all 3 of my kids over the rest of this year. This summer without school days and homework will be the perfect opportunity to start collecting recipes for them to make on their own without worry for me that my kitchen will be in utter mess and destroyed by the end of this experience.
Egg Free Keto Ice Cream
No heat cooking is where I feel comfortable to begin with my 12 year old.
So I am starting with a recipe for ice cream of course, because who doesn't want to learn to make their own ice cream right?
Since Peanut Butter is my daughters favorite as well as mine and my hubbies we went indulgent. But not so indulgent that you can't enjoy this at least once a week if not a little more perhaps. The ingredients needed are every day staples I always have in my fridge and pantry. Made with just 6 ingredients and an ice cream machine and a few minutes of churning time and done! No heat, no eggs and oh so delicious!

My daughter's happy she can help make a snack for herself and she doesn't need me to help her. I'm happy she can do this on her own but not only that, she wants and chooses to enjoy a healthier option for ice cream and that truly makes my heart smile. I hope you enjoy this Keto Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cheesecake Ice Cream as much as we did!
Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cheesecake Ice Cream
Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cheesecake Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups Almond Milk unsweetened
- ½ cup peanut butter unsweetened
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- ½ cup Swerve Confectioners sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon toffee flavored liquid steiva or vanilla stevia
Instructions
- Add all ingredients into a high powered blender.
- Mix until combined well.
- Taste and adjust sweetener if needed.
- Pour mixture into an ice cream machine and follow manufacturers instructions.
- Mine was perfectly churned within 20 minutes.
- Freeze in an air tight container for about 1 hour or until hard enough to scoop.
- Top with peanuts if desired!
Notes
- If you'd like to keep this dairy free, replace the cream cheese used for a vegan substitute, like the brand Daiya.
- If you don't have Swerve you can use another sugar free granulated sweetener of choice. Many other granulated subs like Pyure stevia will be much sweeter than the Swerve I used here so eliminate the liquid stevia.
- If you don't have an ice cream machine you can make these in your blender than pour into molds for frozen pops instead of churning it into ice cream.
- This recipe was first published in May 2015 and updated in 2018 with video.

I have tried many recipes and I have to tell you this is the best. All the others I have thrown out. I know that I’m very
Picky. This ice cream is the best for a homemade recipe. The only ingredient I had to buy was sugar free peanut butter.
Now I have sugar free and dairy free that takes no time to make. I made it in my ice cream machine but I will make it
in my blender. Less work.
Thanks for a great recipe for people that cannot have dairy products or sugar.

Brenda
Sure!

Looks sooooooo good! I love peanut flavored anything, but especially ice cream!
Robert
Wow, this looks awesome. I dont have a ice cream machine but I do have a high speed blender I'll see how that works. I can't eat regular ice cream anymore, and not too fond of the "healthy ones" taste or price. Thanks

While the recipe is technically free of sugar, the peanut butter, 1/2 cup, is loaded with 6 grams starch which is 3% of the peanut butter calories. Starch doubles blood sugar in 15 minutes and takes blood sugars up 5X higher in 30 munites which is why I NEVER eat starch because it is dissolved in the mouth and never makes it to the Fiber Faerie Myth that lives in the gut to slow it down. So I would never make a peanut butter anything.

So why did you look at the recipe, since the name of it says Peanut butter? Peanut butter has oleic acid (good fats), which have a positive effect on blood sugar, cholesterol and blood sugar. All brands are not the same, peanut butter is also a good source of copper, a mineral that helps maintain our bone health, immune function, and blood vessels. "Some research suggests that getting enough copper in your diet may reduce your risk for osteoporosis and heart disease...According to the study referenced below, eating peanuts every day can decrease the overall risk of death by up to 21% – and reduces the occurrence of heart disease by 38%" (https://www.webmd.com/diet/peanut-butter-good-for-you). It depends on what your health needs are. The recipe itself is delicious and one of the creamiest homemade ice creams I have tried.

Would coconut milk be 1:1 to the almond milk? We gave an almond allergy in my house, but this looks delicious!!
Brenda
Yes that would be fine.
