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 wonder if you could somehow use PB2 instead of peanut butter and Neufchatel instead of cream cheese, any thoughts??
Also, the nutritional information given, is that for one serving or the 8 servings? Thanks! Looks awesome!
Brenda
You could make those subs i think without issue, but since PB2 has sugar in it, the nutrition info will change and it may not be as thick because the PB2 is mixed with water, so I would say use less water to keep the PB2 as thick as regular peanut butter. Serving is for 1 piece out of 8 large slices.

Could you use Splenda in this insyead of the Swerve? If so would you use the same amount?

Brenda
Splenda is much sweeter than Swerve so I would say reduce the amount then taste and adjust.
Donna
This came up on my memories from 1 year ago ..
January 24, 2015 ... are you aware that a lot of news about Silk Almond Milk and other brands are not really almond milk. Google this topic and read the latest about this scam. It's best to make your almond milk. I will try this recipe with real almond milk, tho. Sounds yummy.
Katie
I tried this ice cream today, and it's SO delicious! The only thing I changed was I used powdered swerve instead of granular. Definitely a keeper! Thanks for the recipe.
Laura
Is there a way to make this a no churn ice cream if you do not have a machine? I really want ice cream and not Popsicle if possible lol I know I am terribly picky!!! lol
Kathy
This recipe looks amazing! I don't have an ice cream maker, can I make it without one?
Vicky

SO happy you loved it!
Kelly
I LOVE this recipe. I was trying to figure out how to vary it and be able to make different flavors ....can you think of a substitute for the peanut butter?

I hear you about finding a balance in the kitchen with your kids. There are times when I just want to do everything myself because it's faster, but I have to reason through in my head that I will be such a positive outcome if I let go of the reigns sometimes. This ice cream looks like such a wonderful treat for summertime!
Marjory @ Dinner-Mom
Fantastic recipe and so nice to have your children involved. I'm looking forward to cooking with my girls this summer too!

Lora @cakeduchess
The video is so cute, Brenda. She's lovely like you! I am in the same boat with my kids and having them learn more in the kitchen and have it be safe. I want them to learn more this summer, too! What a great summer ice-cream recipe!
Brenda
Thanks for watching it!

Ashley @ Wishes & Dishes
I love the idea of using almond milk in ice cream. This will be my next summer project for sure!

What about oat milk? Would that work too?

Thank you for this recipe, AND the video. Your daughter is lovely and very poised for such a young woman. Be proud, mom! 🙂
Brenda

Louanne
This looks out of sight! Going to give it a whirl using unsweetened chocolate almond milk.
Christine
this looks delish. I'm hoping it will work w sunbutter in place of peanut butter.
Paula - bell'alimento
My peanut butter loving kids would go berserk over these!
Maria
Is there a knock at your door? I ask because you should be arrested for this recipe! I mean, when I bring my face up so close to the screen BECAUSE I'm licking the dripping, melting, deliciousness - well, you should be arrested 🙂 I'm short on words (lucky you are 🙂 ). This cooled me off just looking at it. That it made my mouth water, well, that's not too shabby either! Thank you.
Brenda
LOL!!! You cracked me up!!
Heather / girlichef
Almond milk as an ice cream base is such a great idea. I bet this would be equally tasty with almond butter. Now I'm craving ice cream!
Janis
Me too Heather!!
Alicia clutts
I made it with almond butter and peanut butter chocolate powder and it was amazing!!!
