Vanilla Bean Keto Ice Cream
Let’s dive into making a creamy, dreamy Vanilla Bean Keto Ice Cream that’s surprisingly simple and utterly delicious.

- Pinch of salt (just a dash to balance the flavors)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and almond milk until just combined.
