Ingredients

Strawberry base

  • 2 cups hulled fresh strawberries, divided
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 6 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup powdered monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Whipped cream

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, cold

Directions

  1. Puree 1 1/2 cups of the strawberries with the lemon juice in a blender until smooth. Finely dice the remaining 1/2 cup.
  2. Beat the cream cheese, powdered sweetener, vanilla and salt until smooth. Beat in the strawberry puree.
  3. In a chilled bowl, whip the cold cream to stiff peaks.
  4. Fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture in two additions, then fold in the diced berries.
  5. Spread in a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan, press plastic wrap onto the surface and freeze at least 6 hours or overnight.
  6. Let the pan stand on the counter 10 to 15 minutes before scooping.
Tip: Monk fruit with erythritol freezes harder than sugar, so the short rest on the counter is what makes it scoopable.
Dad jokeI told my strawberry ice cream a secret. It promised to keep it on ice, but it was pretty pink with excitement.

Which does CDC suggest for people with diabetes: whole fruit or fruit juice?
CDC says to eat whole fruits instead of drinking juice, because juice delivers a lot of sugar at once and leaves the fiber behind.
