Escape to the tropics with this dreamy Keto Coconut Lime Ice Cream! It’s unbelievably creamy, packed with a zesty punch, and takes just 5 minutes to prep. Your Ninja Creami does the rest of the work to create this perfect guilt-free dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (13.66 oz) Full-Fat Coconut Milk
  • 1 box (0.3 oz) Sugar-Free Lime Gelatin
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tbsp Almond or Coconut Milk (optional, for re-spinning)

Instructions

  1. Activate Gelatin: Gently warm ½ cup of the coconut milk in a microwave-safe bowl for about 30 seconds. Pour it into a blender, add the entire packet of lime gelatin, and blend for 10 seconds to dissolve.
  2. Blend the Base: Add the rest of the cold coconut milk, the protein powder, and the vanilla extract to the blender. Blend again until the mixture is completely smooth.
  3. Freeze Solid: Pour the base into a Ninja Creami pint container, making sure not to fill past the max fill line. Secure the lid and place it on a perfectly flat surface in your freezer for 24 hours.
  4. First Spin: Once frozen solid, place the pint into your Ninja Creami and process it using the “LITE ICE CREAM” function.
  5. Make it Creamy: After the first spin, the texture will likely be crumbly or powdery. This is completely normal! Simply put it back in the machine and press the “RE-SPIN” button. If it still isn’t silky smooth, add 1 tbsp of milk and re-spin one final time.

Notes

  • Serving Ideas: This ice cream is fantastic on its own! For a little extra flair, top your scoop with toasted unsweetened coconut flakes or the zest of a fresh lime.
  • Tips & Tricks: Don’t skip the “flat surface” step when freezing—it prevents damage to your machine! The “re-spin” cycle is the true secret to getting that perfect creamy texture in low-sugar recipes.
  • Storage: Smooth the top of any leftover ice cream, secure the lid, and return it to the freezer. Because it lacks commercial stabilizers, it will freeze rock solid. You must run it through the “LITE ICE CREAM” or “RE-SPIN” cycle again to enjoy leftovers.
