So unfortunately this stuff kind of tastes kinda funky and the texture is awful. With keto you want a high fat low carb option for ice cream, which due to sugar alcohols Arctic Zero really isn't.
A better option for making your own ice cream would be to use a recipe like this.
1 pint Land O Lakes heavy cream (this stuff has 0 carbs, all the rest seem to have a smidge).
1/2 to 1 cup granular splenda (not the liquid kind, you need granular sweetener to help with texture) depending no how sweet you want it
1/4 teaspoon Xantham Gum
1/2 teaspoon Guar Gum
2 scoops of either IsoPure or of Nectar Protein for flavoring. Both of these offer a bunch of either 0 or next to 0 carb options.
Mix it in a blender just until you have added a little air in the heavy cream so it has the consistency of like pudding, but don't overdo it or you will turn it to butter...and frozen butter isn't delicious.
Then toss it into an ice cream maker. If you don't do a lot of ice cream, then get one of those ones that has the frozen bowl like THIS one, or if you're like me and the loss of ice cream made you super sad, then bite the bullet and upgrade to a unit with a compressor like THIS or if you want VERY nice one then something like THIS.
I use this ice cream for my Keto fat bombs, and it's amazing. You end up with something like THIS for your metrics, 0 carbs, 12 grams of protein and 40 grams of fat with 453 calories for a 1/2 cup serving.
i don't understand the point of this. isn't what you're describing the same as self-refrigerating ice cream units?
Ok this in on the low end, but really the previos comment of Cuisinart is a good start.

You really need to look at a budget of at least 300$, if not more for the unit. Also these things are large so hopefully you have somewhere to store it.
Get one with built in refrigeration if you end up using it much. You'll thank yourself later. My frist one was like that link and it was a major pain. You could do one batch per 24 hours and they didn't always come out great. I have this now, and it's insane. You can do back to back batches and even pour warm liquids in.
