Easy Keto Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe

2019 Jul 21

Today is National Ice Cream Day, so I wanted to share a fast easy keto chocolate ice cream recipe that I make for King Bacon (Mr. Hubs) and myself! We can't tell the difference between this ice cream and full sugar ice cream and highly recommend it.

DISCLAIMER: I am terrible at photography and can't take Instagram-worthy photos of the food I cook. What I do promise is that these recipes all taste awesome.

Equipment

You do need an ice cream maker for these. I do recommend owning one if you practice the keto diet or are low carb or sugar free. They really aren't that expensive for a basic model and even though I don't like owning one purpose kitchen devices, I have not once regretted buying ours. We love it and with the amount we use the ice cream maker it has more than paid for itself versus buying ice cream at the store or from an ice cream parlor. If you are an ice cream lover or aficionado they are great to have - plus it is far healthier to make your own ice cream than buy it in the store!

I use the following model - VERY inexpensive: Cuisinart ICE 21 1.5 Quart Ice Cream Maker ¹

Here is the easy keto chocolate ice cream recipe!

Ingredient links are below the recipe if you want to see what we use.

Easy Keto Chocolate Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
  • If not using half & half, use 1.75 cups of heavy whipping cream instead of 1.5 cups.
• .5 cups half and half
  • Optional; this just makes the chocolate ice cream a little lighter. If not using this, use 1.75 cups of heavy cream instead of 1.5 cups.

• .25 cups cocoa powder
• 1.5 tsp vanilla extract

3. Pour ingredients into ice cream maker.
4. Churn as long as the ice cream maker recommends; ours is about 20 minutes.
