Tips:
If you dont have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals until its firm.
Use toasted pecans for an even nuttier flavor.
Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more powdered sweetener if needed.
Enjoy your keto-friendly, guilt-free indulgence! 樂
