I decided to play with my ice cream maker today to celebrate #NationalHotFudgeSundae Day … and out came this wonderful Sugar Free Cheesecake Frozen Custard. You may be surprised at some of the ingredients that I used to get this rich and creamy dessert.
I’ve been meaning to make and write this recipe all month-long, but life just seemed to keep getting in the way…. not to mention things like these Sugar Free Chocolate Custard Pops, Blueberry Muffins and a bunch more recipes and time spent playing with the grand kids.
I love this Sugar Free Cheesecake Frozen Custard and quite honestly the recipe for the Creamy Vanilla Custard Shake, just made my life and cravings so much easier to take care of. So yes I’ve been pretty busy in the kitchen.
This classic frozen custard pairs so well with so many things… and it is a very easy recipe that doesn’t call for any uncooked egg whites. I do use vegetable glycerine as well as vodka to keep my ice cream and custard from freezing like a rock. Those two ingredients are not mandatory, they just make the ice creams and custards less icy and easier to scoop.
Vegetable glycerine adds creaminess as well as a bit of “chew” to homemade ice cream making it taste more like store-bought and the vodka well it helps with the iciness because alcohol doesn’t freeze. When my kids were young I didn’t use the vodka, I just set the ice cream out to thaw for 10-15 minutes before I tried to scoop it, the choice is yours whether you want to use these two ingredients or not.
But back to the Sugar Free Cheesecake Frozen Custard
Scrambling your eggs before mixing everything together takes the guesswork out of whether or not they are safe to eat, I’ve made this with scrambled eggs and with egg whites as well as traditionally cooking the eggs in the almond milk and cream, but honestly this is quicker and a lot less time spent hovering over the stove top.
Yes I said scrambling your eggs before adding them to anything…Many of us that are following the Trim Healthy Mama way of eating have higher end blenders which can liquefy the eggs as you are processing the mixture that you pour into the Ice Cream Freezer.
I topped mine with this Blueberry Syrup

Kristin says
Can you use farm fresh eggs and not scramble them?
judy says
Yes, you just have to cook them with the cream, sweetener and cream cheese before blending with the cottage cheese or you could use just the raw whites about 1/2-1/3 cup instead of the scrambled eggs
Caroline says
So you cook the eggs? Or do you tempur them like you would for normal homemade vanilla ice cream?
judy says
I soft scramble them , but they are cooked all the way before adding to the blender
Alexandra says

i’m curious about the (optional) vodka. what is its purpose? i’m making this tonight and i’m so excited! thanks!
judy says
The vodka helps to keep the stored custard from becoming overly icy.
Shann Eva says
Yum! I’m on a healthy eating plan, but I have to have a treat once in a while. This looks so yummy! Plus, thank you for sharing the calorie count!
Michelle says
This is the one! Although I mistakenly called it vanilla custard ice cream ~ sorry. Anyway, I can’t get enough of this stuff. I mean “We” since almost everyone loves it. It is just like Haagen Dazs to me.
Gratefully yours,
Michelle
judy says
This is one of my favorites too 🙂
Marsha says
Can you double or triple the recipe and use a 4 or 6 quart ice cream maker?
judy says
Yes ma’am, that shouldn’t be problem 🙂
Stephanie O. says
This is the easiest and best tasting ice cream I have ever made😊 thank you for sharing!
Anna says
Where can I buy vegetable glycerin? Never heard of it.
Judy says
normally you can find it in the pharmacy 🙂 or amazon has it
Judy says
Here’s the link for it on amazon … 🙂 http://amzn.to/1Vvfx8q
Lisa says
Can coconut milk be subbed for the almond milk? I recently found out I am allergic to almond milk and am new to figuring out what substitutes work in what recipes.
Thanks.
Judy says
Yes you can sub coconut milk for the almond milk without a problem 🙂
Ronda Bowman says
I don’t have an ice cream maker, except for a big 6 qt churn. I can’t find where it tells how much this makes…is it 2 qt? Has anyone ever had any luck with freezing it without the fancy ice cream maker? I would so love to try it!
Judy says
I’ve made this into popsicles without putting it through the ice cream maker and yes this is a 2 qt recipe if you triple it; it will work in a 6qt. I had a 6qt before we downsized because all the kids grew up and moved out.
Michelle says
I wanted to share my creation with you. This recipe has been my go to for the summer cravings. When everyone is eating their local ice cream, I am not deprived. Yesterday, I transformed your recipe into Butter Pecan! And boy oh boy was I happy. I candied some pecan pieces in butter and Just Like Brown Sugar on the stovetop, scrambled the eggs in butter, added a tablespoon of that sweetener to the mix, and replaced the coconut oil with melted butter.
It was all I could do not to eat it all. And my stingy side came out when my kids were begging for it. “Oh no, you had yours already.”
Thank you again.
Judy says
Oh Michelle, That has been on my to do list… and I’m so Happy that you enjoy this recipe!! Thank you so much for sharing how you changed it up with all of us.
Joyce says
I’m looking for your chocolate pudding using scrambled eggs.
Thanks
Judy says
