How to Make a Keto Frosty
-
Whip the cream: In a mixing bowl, beat heavy cream with a hand mixer until soft peaks form.

Freeze: Transfer to a shallow container and freeze for 2–3 hours, stirring with a fork every 20 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
-
Serve & enjoy: Spoon into a jar or bowl and enjoy immediately!
Tip: If it gets too firm in the freezer, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before scooping.
Flavor Variations

FAQs
Can I use a blender?
Yes! A blender or hand mixer both work well. You can also churn in an ice cream maker for an extra-smooth texture.
Is it okay to skip stiff peaks?
No worries—if you don’t get stiff peaks, just be sure the mixture is light and airy before freezing. It’ll still turn out creamy.
How should I store leftovers?
This recipe makes one serving, but if you store leftovers, cover tightly and freeze. It’ll harden over time, so let it thaw slightly before enjoying.
