Low Carb Cinnamon Roll Ice Cream

Alpha Freezz sells an awesome Cinnamon Bun flavoring. How can we make it even better? Mix in Cinnamon Smartcakes!

Smartcakes are low carb cupcakes that are only 38 calories each and come in a variety of flavors. I didn’t want to cut it up into pieces since I wasn’t sure how well chunks of cake would work. Quite frankly, most of the flavor is from the top of the cupcake and I didn’t want to sacrifice a whole box for a bunch of tops. Instead, I smashed the cupcakes flat to spread out the cake-y and top-y goodness. It works out surprisingly well!

Feel free to experiment using this method with the with other combinations of ice cream and Smartcake flavors. I did an ice cream flavored with coconut extract with flattened coconut Smartcakes and it was incredible! Try coconut and chocolate Smartcakes with German Chocolate Cake ice cream flavoring, too.

Ingredients

Low Carb Philadelphia-style Ice Cream Base
2 tablespoons Cinnamon Bun Ice Cream Flavoring
3 (1½ packages) Cinnamon Smartcakes, room temperature

Directions

1. Open the wrapper from a package of Cinnamon Smartcakes and flatten a cake while placed upside-down with the palm of your hand. Press down as hard as you can. The cake must be as thin as possible.
   
   
   
   
   Repeat for all three cakes. Add the flattened cakes to an empty ice cream container and put into the freezer.
2. Follow the instructions for the Low Carb Philadelphia-style Ice Cream Base. Add the flavoring after the mix has cooled. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for a few hours.
3. Follow your ice cream maker’s directions for making ice cream. Add a layer of ice cream, then insert some frozen and compressed Smartcake into the ice cream. Add more ice cream and repeat until the container is filled.
