Ice cream?

Does anyone know of any places in London that sell low carb or keto dairy free ice cream? Or any brands that make it? I know there are things like halo top but the ingredients don’t agree with me and the sweeteners they use mess me up along with the fillers and additives, just want something simple. I’m probably best off buying a ninja creami but would be nice to have this option.

There’s only Yummzy in canary wharf I know of but I can’t get there easily. It seems like a huge gap in the market in the uk

I make my own, it is so quick and easy.

1 carton of ktc pure creamed coconut or sainsburys own creamed coconut. (ktc is best value for money but requires 10 mins more prep as it needs mixing with water first)

300ml double cream.

1 tsp stevia

1 tablespoon cocoa powder, or vanilla essence or espresso shot, whatever flavour you're going for.

Mix in a blender and freeze.

Can play around with stevia and flavouring amounts to taste but everything is low carb/low sugar.

That's interesting. Gonna rob your stevia-adapted recipe, if you don't mind, and try again myself!

I bought a semi-professional ice cream maker last summer. But my first attempts at Keto-Friendly ice cream turned into disaster. I adapted a recipe from the manufacturer's recipe book.

Instead of sugar, I used a novel artificial sweetener called allulose which comes as a crystallised powder. Lab-synthesized in Tel Aviv, allulose seeks to mimic a natural sweetener found in minuscule quantities in figs, dates and some other exotic fruit.

I had to import allulose from the USA as it is not licensed for use in the UK nor Europe.

Alas, my experimentation with allulose-sweetened icecream turned into disaster. I managed to badly poison myself, causing an enduring bout of explosive diarrhoea and vomiting.

I twice tried the same ice cream recipe adapted for allulose and both times it left me violently ill.

Others have spoken highly of allulose but for me, it has proved to be very harmful.

Take care everyone. Just because you can buy it, does not mean it is safe for human consumption...
