“I always have a batch of lollies for Funnyman in the freezer because they usually take me less than 10 minutes to make. He loves these vanilla cream lollies as after-dinner treats. And, enjoying them most nights has never knocked him out of ketosis. Here, I went back to basics with a simple vanilla cream and he was not disappointed. Unlike the majority of the other lolly recipes on this site, here I used mostly double cream and some Greek yogurt for acidity. I scraped the seeds from a good quality Madagascan vanilla pod, but if you are on a tighter budget, you can use two teaspoons of vanilla extract. Be sure to check the labels: vanilla paste contains sugar)…” – Monya

The star of this frozen symphony is the Madagascan vanilla pod. Renowned for its superior quality and aromatic profile, they add a unique depth of flavour. Unlike synthetic vanilla extracts, Madagascan vanilla brings a natural sweetness and a hint of floral notes t.
The creamy foundation is a blend of double cream and plain yogurt. This combo not only imparts a velvety texture but also a healthy dose of fats. Fats are a key element of the ketogenic diet.
Erythritol, a natural sugar substitute with zero net carbs, adds sweetness without spiking blood sugar levels, making these popsicles keto-friendly.

Madagascan Vanilla Cream Lollies
Per serving
Ingredients
- 450 g (15.9 oz) double cream
- 120 g (4.2 oz) full-fat Greek yogurt
- 40 g (1.4 oz) powdered erythritol, confectioners
- 1 large Madagascan vanilla bean pod
Instructions
- Combine the cream, yogurt and Swerve® confectioner’s sweetener in a large bowl.
- Slice the vanilla pod in half lengthwise. Open up the pod and use the back of a knife to scrape out all the seeds. Add the seeds to the cream mixture and whisk very well until the mixture is full combined. I would advise whisking to at least soft peaks as you don't want the seeds to sink to the bottom of the lolly moulds.
- Pour the mixture into 6 ice lolly moulds (100ml / 3.4 fl. oz) in capacity. Click the lid/stick in place of each one, and place in the freezer overnight.
- Transfer the popsicles to the fridge 30 minutes before eating or simply run hot water on the outside of the mould to make it easier to slide out.
