FOREWORD
When I chose to eat ketogenically, it wasn't difficult to give up the foods that were making me sick, fat, sad, and gross. But the last non-keto food I did finally quit eating was ice cream. That's because I love ice cream.
But I don't just love any ice cream. I'm extraordinarily picky about the content and texture of ice cream. If it's not silky smooth, with a fun flavor profile and/or lots of cool stuff thrown in the mix, I'm not interested. Plain vanilla, when done correctly, is complex. But it's also plain vanilla.
For me, ice cream is packed with way too much potential to settle for anything less than incredible.
Of course, when I go to the grocery store, there are no keto ice cream options available. And that makes me sad. So, the next best option was to try to make some myself. And that was an exercise in frustration. Mostly because the recipes suck. And mostly because people seem willing to settle for less than perfect results.
But that ain't me.
Surely, I have thought for a while now, someone could make a keto ice cream that doesn't suck. Let's face it, ice cream is served up as an ideal keto food. It's full of good fat, remove the sugar and replace it with a natural sweetener, and you'll have a great menu item.
But, alas, I was unable to buy or make any ice cream that lived up to my standards.
And then I tried Carrie's ice cream, when my wife and I visited her in Seattle. And that's when I knew I'd found what I was looking for. Carrie has a the same ridiculously high standards that I do, and she knows how to make things feel and taste like perfection.
And, since you're reading this right now, you will soon know exactly what I mean. The ice cream recipes in this book are, and this is no exaggeration, the greatest food ever conceived of by a human being in the last 200,000 years.
Forget what you know about boring and dull desserts. Forget all previous attempts at horribly bad ice cream.
Read, learn, and enjoy ice cream, the Carrie Brown way. Because she's awesome. And so is her ice cream.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Ice cream, ice cream, we all scream for ice cream!
Ice cream is one of the worlds favorite sweet treats. Not mine though. Well, not in the beginning, anyway.
Growing up, my family didnt eat ice cream much. It made a rare, and brief appearance on the Sunday dessert menu every once in a great while, usually in the form of an Arctic Roll. For the uninitiated, an Arctic Roll is a wholly British thing consisting of vanilla ice cream wrapped in a thin layer of sponge cake to form a roll. Its the shape of a log, and theres a layer of raspberry sauce between the ice cream and the sponge. My mother would saw one into 4 and wed each have a slice. I liked Arctic Roll days, although they didnt roll around very often. Ha ha! Roll. Oh, never mind.
Other than Arctic Rolls, ice cream never really blew my skirt up as a kid. Looking back, I think this was because the ice cream that was available back in the day was so ghastly: thin, almost icy, flavorless. I was well into adulthood when the premium ice creams hit the market, and ice cream was elevated to a whole new status. I would chow down on the odd Ben and Jerrys Cherry Garcia Ice Cream Bar, or sneak a small oblong tub of Mvenpick Caf Ice Cream, and boy oh boy, did that stuff make me want to get a room. But still, ice cream was never my go-to dessert or treat.
