Step up your spring and summer dessert game with this easy paleo and keto creamy lemon ice cream! Full of lemony goodness with an option for GAPS diet.
Hello summery desserts.
When summer rolls around down here in the south it gets to the point where any kind of baked good goes out the window. And all the no-baked goods come in.
Which I am totally okay with. Cause who doesn’t want no-bake brownies, no-bake tarts, no-bake cookies, freezer fudge, and of course… all the homemade ice creams.
No matter the time of year, I’m always in the mood for a good homemade ice cream.
Creamy Lemon Ice Cream.
This easy and delicious no-bake treat is perfect for those too hot days where you just want to sit around chilling. Or for those days you are dreaming of summer and you’re willing to snuggle up in a blanket with a summery treat.
It only requires a few ingredients, a blender, and an ice cream maker, and you could probably make it without the ice cream maker, if you need to, it just might not be as fluffy.
If you’re a lemon-lover, this is for you. The lemon flavor is just right, the creaminess is perfect, and the no-bake-ness is wonderful. It’s probably the best homemade dairy-free ice cream I’ve had in a good long while, and it’s easily sweetened with either stevia OR honey.
Keto clarity.
I found the recipe for this delicious creamy lemon ice cream in the Keto Clarity Cookbook by Jimmy Moore and Heather Rushin. As soon as my kids saw it they begged me to make it for them. And of course I couldn’t say no. ‘Cause ice cream…
Keto Clarity is hot off the presses and jam-packed with amazingly delicious keto treats. But you don’t have to regularly eat a keto diet to enjoy them, of course! With over 150 mouthwatering, family friendly recipes, there’s definitely something in this cookbook for everyone!
Some of our favorites are…
- Pizza Baked Eggs (seriously, my kids would eat these every day for breakfast!)
- Cabbage, Sausage, and Pepper Sheet Pan Dinner (so easy and tasty!)
- Drinking Chocolate (um… need I say more?)
- Candied Pecans
- Simple Baked Cod
- Everyday Roasted Chicken
- Steak Salad
- and of course this Creamy Lemon Ice Cream
On top of these delicious recipes, the cookbook includes month-long meal plans (with AND without dairy!), shopping lists for both meal plans, and chapters on lifestyle, eating real food while on keto, and what the keto diet isreally about.
GET THE COOKBOOK HERE.
Again, even if you’re not keto, and have no plans of going keto, the cookbook is an amazing resource of nutritional information and delicious food!
Even my kids love to read it…
More delicious keto treats.

I’m a straight up chocolate person when it comes to other desserts . . . but I looooooooove me some lemon ice cream! Thanks for the recipes

Haha! I’m pretty much the same. 100% chocolate, but gotta have lemon every now and again. 😉

paleoglutenfreeguy on July 25, 2019 at 5:53 pm
Oh my. Any paleo ice cream that includes egg yolks knows what it’s doing. And lemon is one of those flavors you never really see in stores so this is the perfect recipe to make at home!
Reply
Raia on July 25, 2019 at 5:55 pm
Haha! Agreed. Yolks are for winners. I hope you get to enjoy this ice cream. 🙂

I love that melty shot in the loaf pan! YUM! It’s 95 degrees here and we have no AC and I’ve been totally worthless today. I wish I had some of this ice cream to liven me up!
Reply
Raia on July 26, 2019 at 2:05 pm
Haha! Yeah… I was wondering if anyone would notice that! I seriously have to be SO fast to get ice cream shots before they are melted! Crazy heat. It leaves me feeling like a wilted leaf, too. :p

What is the purpose of eggs in ice cream making? Can this be made without?
Reply
Raia on June 26, 2023 at 12:28 pm
The eggs make ice cream nice and thick and creamy. If you want to leave them out you totally can. It will just change the texture (and of course make it not as nutritional!). 🙂
