It is also one of the easiest ice cream recipes out there as it only has 3 steps and the ingredients used are typically found in most keto pantries. All of the ingredients in this recipe have an individual role which is key to creating the ultimate texture and flavor of the final product, so make sure not to skip out on any of the ingredients.

This keto coffee ice cream is not made with eggs. It is a foolproof way of making keto ice cream since you don’t have to worry about tempering eggs or about the egg curdling when making the custard. Additionally, this recipe uses vodka to get a creamy, smooth texture. You can omit the alcohol if you prefer, but you might not get the same texture, especially when taking the ice cream out of the freezer.

The secret ingredient we use in this recipe and which gives the taste a unique twist is Cacao Bliss. Through the use of Cacao Bliss, you get a delicious cinnamon mocha flavor. Cacao Bliss is a raw cacao powder blend that contains superfoods like cinnamon and turmeric. Cacao Bliss is what turns this ice cream from your average coffee flavor to a tasty mocha. Apart from adding to the taste, the powder also adds health benefits to the ice cream due to the superfoods in the blend.

For this keto coffee ice cream recipe, you can use an ice cream maker to churn it. However, if you don’t own one, you can easily just put it in a freezer safe container and place in the freezer to set the ice cream instead.

What is Cacao Bliss?

Cacao Bliss is used in this recipe as a replacement for traditional cocoa powder and it gives the ice cream its chocolatey taste. Cacao Bliss is better than the average cocoa powder as it is low in carbs and is made of a delicious blend of raw cacao powder and superfoods such as turmeric and black pepper. Turmeric is typically used to control inflammation, while black pepper increases the bioavailability of the turmeric. The blend is also made of cinnamon, lucuma and MCT powder which help to control blood sugars. Cacao Bliss can be used in any keto baking recipes which require unsweetened cocoa powder. It is lightly sweetened with monk fruit, which makes it taste even better than other low carb chocolate powders! Cacao Bliss is an amazing addition to this recipe as it adds health benefits to the keto coffee ice cream and it also enhances the flavor!

What is the Purpose of the Alcohol?

When making homemade ice cream, especially keto ice cream, it does not tend stay soft and ready to scoop out of the tub as store-bought ice cream usually does. The alcohol is added to soften the ice cream. Otherwise, if you freeze the cream based ice cream mixture without alcohol, it will be rock hard after a few hours in the freezer. You can use any white distilled spirit. We suggest using vodka or white rum since they have a neutral flavor and are clear.

Substitutions for Alcohol

There are a few substitutions you can use if you don’t want to use alcohol in this recipe. You can use a sugar free syrup like allulose syrup. We recommend using 1/4 cup of allulose syrup instead of the vodka and the sugar free sweetener.

Ice Cream Machine

An ice cream machine is not required for this recipe. Thus, if you don’t have one at home you don’t need to go out and buy one as this recipe can still be done without an ice cream machine. It is not necessary to churn the ice cream but if you do, the result will be creamier and if you use an electric one, you don’t even need to wait, you can enjoy your ice cream straight away!

Chill For 2 Hours

Waiting 2 hours before churning your keto coffee ice cream allows the flavors time to meld together. It also helps with the texture of the ice cream – making it softer and creamier, which results in the perfect ice cream texture!

Keto Mocha Coffee Ice Cream: FAQS

Can I substitute heavy cream with a lighter alternative?

While heavy cream is essential for that rich, creamy texture, you can try using full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free version. Just keep in mind that the texture might be different.

What can I use instead of powdered erythritol?

You can use other keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit sweetener or stevia. Just adjust the amount according to your taste, as different sweeteners have different sweetness levels.

How long can I store the keto mocha coffee ice cream?

You can store the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Just remember to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping, as it may harden a bit.

Is there a way to make this ice cream without alcohol?

Absolutely! The vodka or white rum helps prevent ice crystals and keeps the ice cream creamy, but you can omit it. Just make sure to churn the mixture well during freezing to maintain a smooth texture.

Can I add more flavors or ingredients to this recipe?

Definitely! You can mix in some nuts, chocolate chips, or even a splash of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor. Just make sure to keep any additions keto-friendly!
