Steps by step instructions
How to make sugar free salted caramel ice cream in the ninja creami ice cream maker
STEP 1: Prepare the low carb caramel sauce, then blend the remaining ingredients (excluding the caramel sauce) in a blender at medium-low speed for 30 seconds until thoroughly incorporated.
Transfer the blended mixture to the Ninja Creami pint and freeze for a minimum of 24 hours to allow the ice cream to set.
STEP 2: Once frozen, process the mixture in the Ninja Creami machine using the "smoothie" button for a creamy texture.
Create a well down the center of the ice cream, adding the low carb caramel sauce as the mix-in.
STEP 3: Process the ice cream once again in the Ninja Creami machine, utilizing the "mix-in" button to incorporate the low carb caramel sauce.
Serve and enjoy. Sprinkle with more sea salt if desired.
Alternate Option
Alternatively, you can opt to use the low carb caramel sauce as a topping for the ice cream or swirl it in with a spoon, enhancing the flavor profile without incorporating it during the "mix-in" step in the Ninja Creami machine.
Recipe tips
- Flavor Infusion: Elevate the caramel notes by adding a dash of ground cinnamon or a pinch of nutmeg to the ice cream mixture before freezing, creating a warm and comforting undertone.
- Customized Toppings: get creative by adding a variety of toppings like sugar-free chocolate shavings or a dollop of whipped cream, allowing each serving to be uniquely tailored to individual preferences.
Storage and serving
- Storage: Store the sugar-free salted caramel ice cream in the pint with a tightly sealed lid in the freezer to maintain its texture and prevent freezer burn.
- Serving: When ready to enjoy, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to slightly soften, ensuring a creamy and scoopable consistency. Alternatively, for a quick refresh, briefly respin the ice cream in the Ninja Creami to restore its velvety texture.
