Hey everyone! Soooo… I think I may have just come up with the most amazing invention ever. I am so excited to share it with you today!
This came to be last weekend, when it was so hot out and I was craving ice cream. However, I didn’t want all of the sugar and dairy that comes with most ice cream. So, I got into the kitchen to make my own! I started by throwing together some of my favorite high-fat ingredients: Primal Kitchen collagen protein and Fourth & Heart ghee. I also added some gelatin and coconut milk for creaminess. Then, I threw it all into my blender and then my ice cream maker.
WOW, the result was amazing! It ended up being a super fluffy, creamy gelato. Even through it’s free of sugar, it has an amazing sweet flavor from all the coconut. Because it’s full of ghee, coconut and collagen, it’s high in healthy fats and protein; the stuff that will turn you into a super hero when you eat it!
I haven’t been this excited about a recipe for a long time, and for a good reason; this ice cream has the most amazing fluffy texture, a mild sweetness, and amazing health benefits. Bonus: if you buy the Collagen Fuel from this link, using the code “KITCHEN,” you get a discount on your purchase, and I get a small commission. It’s a win-win!
I hope you enjoy this yummy, healthy ice cream as much as my family did. Go wild with the toppings! I used edible flowers and berries here, but you can really top it with any fruit or sweet thing; this ice cream is a canvas for your imagination 🙂

I love the idea of eating a creamy gelato that’s sugar-free. I am on a low-sugar diet so I had to sacrifice ice cream. However, I would not mind trying sugar-free gelato if it hits the spot just right.
Enjoy!
This looks delicious! What kind of ice cream maker do you have, Sadie?
Thanks! I have the Cuisinart one from Amazon, I think it’s about $40. I love it!
Do you need an ice cream maker, Sadie, or can you put in an airtight container in the freezer?
An ice cream maker is ideal, but you could try it without!
