Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk of choice (raw or A2A2 milk recommended; for GAPS Diet, use coconut milk)
  • 1 cup heavy cream or probiotic/real sour cream (for GAPS or preference)
  • ½ cup fresh cantaloupe, chopped small
  • ⅓ cup honey (for Keto, substitute with liquid low carb sweetener such as allulose)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract or vodka (optional, improves texture)
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon quality sea salt (preferably gourmet salt, not table salt)

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients Except Cream: Combine the milk, chopped cantaloupe, honey, vanilla extract (or vodka), and sea salt in a blender. Purée the mixture for about 40 seconds until it is completely smooth and the honey has fully dissolved.
  2. Add Cream and Blend: Add the heavy cream (or probiotic/real sour cream) to the blended mixture and pulse the blender just briefly to incorporate evenly without overmixing.
  3. Freeze In Ice Cream Maker: Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the ice cream reaches a creamy, scoopable texture.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, scoop the cantaloupe sea salt ice cream into bowls or cones and serve immediately for a deliciously refreshing treat.

Notes

  • For a completely milk-free version, use coconut milk in place of dairy milk and substitute the heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream.
  • Honey can be swapped out for any liquid low carb sweetener like allulose if following a Keto diet.
  • If a stronger sea salt flavor is desired, you may use up to ½ teaspoon of high quality sea salt, but avoid table salt to maintain the best flavor.
  • The addition of vodka or vanilla extract is optional but recommended to improve texture and flavor complexity.
  • The recipe is suitable for GAPS diet with suggested dairy substitutions.
