Keto Chocolate Ice Cream

Low Carb Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe

This keto chocolate ice cream recipe is one of the smoothest, creamiest, and richest keto ice creams you will ever make. The heavy whipping cream, powdered erythritol sweetener, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and keto chocolate come together to create a satisfying dessert perfect for a hot day. The secret ingredient to a perfect keto ice cream is to add vodka or white rum to get a creamy consistency. If you have an ice cream maker, you can quickly whip up a batch of keto chocolate ice cream, but if you don’t, there are several no-churn options too. To keep the recipe keto-friendly, we use sugar-free chocolate and cocoa powder. Since cooking and tempering the egg can be difficult, this keto ice cream recipe has been modified to be fail-safe and is egg-free. That way, there is no possibility of curdling the egg yolk.

Keto Chocolate

The best part of keto chocolate ice cream is, of course, the chocolate! This recipe calls for keto-approved chocolate such as the one from ChocZero since it is sugar-free and sugar-alcohol-free. You can choose to use dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate, or white chocolate, but we recommend using dark chocolate for a rich and intense chocolate flavor. This recipe also uses cocoa powder, but it is important to use 100% unsweetened cocoa powder since some contain sugars and higher levels of carbohydrates. It is best to heat the cream, sweetener, and cocoa powder in a saucepan for smooth and melted chocolate and then pour it over the chocolate chips. Once you do that, the chocolate will be ready to be churned into low carb ice cream!

Creamy Ice Cream

The surprising secret ingredient that makes keto ice cream creamy is vodka! With just 2 tablespoons of vodka, the mixture will soften and turn into a creamy, delicious mixture. You can use any white distilled spirit like vodka, rum, or even gin or tequila. However, if you do not add alcohol to the ice cream mixture, it will freeze and be rock hard. We also recommend using vodka since the gin and tequila have a stronger flavor, and you may be able to taste it in the ice cream.

Substitutions

There are a few substitutes for alcohol that will make the keto ice cream creamy, including a sugar-free syrup like allulose syrup . You can use 1/4 cup of allulose syrup in place of the vodka and the sugar-free sweetener for a creamy and sweet chocolate keto ice cream.

Churn Using An Ice Cream Machine

An ice cream maker is the quickest and easiest way to make keto chocolate ice cream. With an ice cream maker, you can make freshly churned, creamy ice cream within 20-45 minutes, depending on your ice cream machine. If you make this recipe often, you may want to consider purchasing an ice cream maker.

No-Churn Ice Cream Instructions

If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can follow the no-churn instructions to make keto chocolate ice cream. The first option is to add the ice cream mixture to a mason jar, shake it until it thickens, and freeze it overnight. The second option involves using a blender or electric mixture, and then once the mixture thickens, freeze it. Regardless of if you use an ice cream maker, a mason jar, or a blender, this recipe for keto chocolate ice cream will turn our rich and deliciously creamy.
