Perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings while staying true to your low-carb lifestyle, this ice cream combines the rich flavors of chocolate and coffee into a frozen delight you won’t be able to resist.
Why Keto Ice Cream?
Traditional ice cream is often loaded with sugar, making it a no-go for those following a ketogenic diet. This recipe uses keto-friendly sweeteners and healthy fats to create a delicious alternative that won’t spike your blood sugar or kick you out of ketosis.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, almond milk, erythritol, cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, and salt.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the erythritol is dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Let the mixture cool completely. You can speed this up by placing it in the refrigerator for a few hours.
- Pour the cooled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Once churned, transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Tips and Variations:
- For a stronger coffee flavor, add more instant coffee granules.
- Add sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can try the “bag method.” Place the mixture in a zip-top bag, then place that bag inside a larger bag filled with ice and rock salt. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 minutes, or until the ice cream reaches your desired consistency.
