Good combination of good oils and nuts—I thought it was fabulous! I just used the mini muffin cup liners in a tray and froze. They came right out of the paper because of all the oil in them."

Muffins are an easy snack that can be made ahead of time and taken on the go. "I've tried so many keto-friendly recipes, and this one is my favorite by far. I just baked a batch and ate it warm. It's moist and has a nice texture. I used coconut oil and instead of the heavy cream I used lemon juice, as I like it sour," says reviewer Fernanda Tavares.

"Quick to make and no ice cream machine needed! After trying different variations of ingredients, I finally figured out a combination that produced a smooth and creamy texture, yet didn't freeze rock-hard like most no-churn ice cream can," says recipe creator France C. "The vodka is optional; however, it really helps keep the ice cream scoopable and you don't taste it!"
