This is the keto ice cream you’ve been waiting for. It’s creamy, rich and luscious, and made with just 5 ingredients. Primal keto ice cream is pure, unadulterated, guilt-free bliss. There’s no dairy, no added sugar or artificial sweeteners, and no additives.

It’s almost impossible to make rich and creamy dairy-free ice cream without dumping sugar or additives into it. Here’s the secret: High-fat coconut milk and macadamia butter, pure vanilla extract, and PRIMAL KITCHEN® Collagen Fuel. This combination is all you need to make delicious dairy-free, high-fat, low-carb, low sugar, keto ice cream.

High-fat, low-carb foods are critical to the ketogenic diet, and this ice cream delivers on both fronts. Plus, you get collagen protein from the PRIMAL KITCHEN® Collagen Fuel. Even so, a daily bowl of Primal keto ice cream probably isn’t the best idea. It’s still dessert, after all. But when you need a treat, this ice cream is where it’s at. Primal keto ice cream is just sweet enough to gratify a sweet tooth, and the rich, full-fat flavor is truly satisfying, even in small servings.

The two recipes below make both vanilla and chocolate Primal keto ice cream. They’re delicious separately, or swirled together.

Time in the Kitchen: 10 minutes, plus time to churn in the ice cream maker

Servings: 4 to 6

Vanilla Coconut Collagen Fuel Keto Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 1 13.5 ounce can full-fat coconut milk (400 ml)
• 1 scoop PRIMAL KITCHEN® Vanilla Coconut Collagen Fuel (16.5 g)
• ¼ cup macadamia nut butter* (60 ml)
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (without propylene glycol) (10 ml)
• pinch of salt

Chocolate Coconut Collagen Fuel Keto Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 1 13.5 ounce can full-fat coconut milk (400 ml)
• 1 scoop PRIMAL KITCHEN® Chocolate Coconut Collagen Fuel (16.5 g)
• ¼ cup macadamia butter* (60 ml)
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (without propylene glycol) (10 ml)
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (45 ml)
• pinch of salt

Instructions

Recipe Note:
Like all low sugar, additive-free, dairy-free ice creams, this one has the creamiest and fluffiest texture straight out of the ice cream maker. Once it’s frozen, the ice cream will harden. Before eating, let it sit out for 10-20 minutes to soften. The ice cream will return to a creamy texture, but won’t be as airy and fluffy. Running it briefly through a food processor, however, will restore the original consistency.
.
*To make macadamia butter, blend 1 cup raw, unsalted macadamia nuts in the food processor for 3 to 5 minutes until very smooth.

To make the ice cream, whisk coconut milk, PRIMAL KITCHEN® Collagen Fuel, macadamia butter, vanilla, and salt together until smooth. If making chocolate ice cream, whisk in cocoa powder.

Follow ice cream maker instructions for churning. Pour the mixture into the bowl of your ice cream maker and churn until desired consistency is reached.

Asparagus is a vegetable that is transformed by hot-and-fast cooking. It’s why we love roasted and stir-fried asparagus, and why we fall in love each spring with grilled asparagus. Grilling makes asparagus tender while imparting a delightful char and smoky flavor — but to be honest, grilling asparagus can be tricky. Most asparagus is just wide enough to slip between the grill grates and fall into the fire.

Last summer, I learned the super-simple solution for grilling asparagus that makes them easier to flip and keeps them from falling into the grill: skewers. Threaded together, you can cook five to six skewers at once and transform fresh asparagus into a fast and fancy side with just olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Fruit flies are a fact of life — especially come summer, when fresh produce is abundant and also spoils faster on your countertop. It’s almost inevitable that you’ll find a few buzzing around your kitchen. They’ll eat anything that’s remotely spoiled, can sneak in through open doors or the tiny holes in your window screens, and multiply swiftly.

“Fruit flies have a quick gestation period,” says Scot Hodges, director of professional development for technical services at Arrow Exterminators. “It only takes them 12 to 15 hours to lay eggs, then just a week for those eggs to turn into adults, so you can develop a problem really quickly.” Great.

Don’t panic just yet. Here’s what you need to do.

I firmly believe that you can never have too many salads and sides at summer potlucks — extra emphasis on the salads. They’re the beacon of freshness that celebrate the ripe summer produce at our fingertips and help balance out all the taco dip, burgers, ribs, and ice cream.

Of course, there are the classic salads you expect to see in the summer potluck lineup, but this year lead the charge with fresh new flavors and combinations that will impress the whole crowd.
