5 Minute Low Carb Mixed Berry Soft Serve Nice Cream makes it so that any time an ice cream craving hits, you can have a delicious low-carb alternative!

I’m a firm believer that with a little creativity, just about anything can be re-made into a low-carb version of itself that tastes just as good, if not better, than the original. And usually, the remake is healthier too, and full of real-food ingredients. This 5 Minute Low Carb Mixed Berry Soft Serve Nice Cream is the perfect example of that!

How to Make Instant Ice Cream in 5 Minutes

Frozen fruit is the secret ingredient that lets you blend up ice cream almost instantly (ok not exactly instantly, but if you give me 5 minutes, I’ll give you a pretty fabulous ice cream!). Frozen bananas are a popular choice for making a quick ice cream-like treat, but I love using berries to keep it lower in carbs.

5 Minute Low Carb Mixed Berry Soft Serve Nice Cream uses frozen berries as the base, and is blended up with grass-fed heavy whipping cream for a texture that’s rich and creamy just like the real thing.

How to Make Ice Cream Without an Ice Cream Maker

If you use chopped frozen fruit as the base, you can blend it up with liquid in a food processor or blender. For the smoothest consistency, use a high-speed blender (I love my Vitamix).

How to Make Healthy Ice Cream (aka Nice Cream)

One of the easiest ways to make healthy ice cream is to use frozen fruit as the base. Instead of a custard base (made from dairy, eggs, and sugar), you’re getting the nutrients from fruit. I find that fruit like banana, berries, mango, pineapple, etc. blend up better than citrus fruits, or something like apple.

How to Make Low-Carb Ice Cream

Omitting the sugar-heavy custard base of regular ice cream helps to keep this low-carb. Be mindful of what liquid you use; many juices can be high in sugar. For this 5 Minute Low Carb Mixed Berry Soft Serve Nice Cream, I opt for grass-fed heavy whipping cream, which ads healthy fats.

Also, choose your sweetener wisely. Honey and maple syrup are delicious choices, but if you want to keep things low-carb, stevia may be a better option.

Playing with the Flavors of This 5 Minute Low Carb Mixed Berry Soft Serve Nice Cream

You can change the flavor profile by doing any of the following:

  • Swapping out the berries for another kind of fruit (or using only one type of berry instead of a mix like I did)
  • Using a different liquid (I’ve also used green tea for a sorbet-like treat, or unsweetened canned coconut milk)
  • Using a different sweetener; if stevia isn’t your thing, go with honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, simple syrup, etc.

Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently serv Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently served with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh dill. You can boil or fry them, they freeze like a dream (and they cook directly from frozen!), and they make a big batch so you’ll have a freezer stash of easy dinners for busy nights. But fair warning, these are definitely a labor of love. I made them last spring on a Zoom call with ma chérie Evelyne of @cultureatz that involved ridiculous amounts of laughter, and the shenanigans of us hand making about 100 dumplings each! I’m definitely a bad blogger for not sharing the recipe until now lol. But it’s (finally!) up and you can check it out on @anediblemosaic 🥰 —> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/pelmeni-recipe-russian-dumplings/ #dumplings #dumplingsfordays #russianfood #pelmeni #foodstyling #foodstylist #foodphotography #photography #moodygrams #lightandshadow
The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️

This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is the perfect dessert for you and your sweetheart this Valentine's Day, and it's even more special because it was made for a cause. ❤️

This is the 5th year in a row that Julie from @thelittlekitchn has organized the Cookies for Kid's Cancer Valentine's Event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer, and I'm honored to be part of it.

Cancer is the top cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. And the National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.⁣

You can help make a difference by donating to @cookies4kids. Our goal is to raise at least $3000. Thank you to @OXO, @Mediavine and @Dixie_Crystals who have each pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000!⁣
