Keto Chocolate Ice Cream with Coconut Milk – Guilt-Free Summer Treat

 

Introduction: Guilt-Free Chocolate Indulgence
Are you craving a rich, chocolatey dessert while staying on your keto journey? You’re not alone! This Keto Chocolate Ice Cream with Coconut Milk delivers everything you want in a frozen treat—creamy texture, deep cocoa flavor, and zero sugar or dairy. It's the perfect solution for those who are lactose intolerant or simply looking to avoid heavy cream.

Why Coconut Milk?
Coconut milk is the secret weapon here. It adds creaminess without carbs, and its natural fat content helps create the rich mouthfeel you'd expect from traditional ice cream. It’s also a great dairy-free alternative that pairs surprisingly well with chocolate.

🍫 Ingredients (Makes ~4 Servings)

• 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk

• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• ½ cup powdered erythritol or allulose (adjust to taste)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Pinch of sea salt

• Optional: 2 tbsp almond butter or MCT oil for extra creaminess

🍨 Instructions

1. Whisk the base: In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, and sea salt. Whisk until smooth and well-blended.

2. Chill: Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours (or overnight for deeper flavor).

3. Churn or No-Churn:

   • With Ice Cream Maker: Pour the chilled mixture into your machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

   • No-Churn Method: Pour into a freezer-safe container. Stir every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to prevent ice crystals and ensure a creamy texture.

4. Freeze & Serve: Let it freeze fully (about 4 hours), then allow to soften 5 minutes before scooping. Enjoy!
