📝 Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream

- 3/4 cup powdered erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener)
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: A few drops green food coloring
- 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (like Lily’s or ChocZero)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Mix the base: In a large bowl, whisk together heavy cream, almond milk, sweetener, peppermint extract, vanilla, and food coloring (if using) until smooth and well combined.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour (or overnight) to enhance flavor and texture.
- Churn: Pour into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually about 20–30 minutes).
- Add chips: In the last few minutes of churning, add the sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Freeze to firm up: Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1–2 hours until scoopable.
🍨 Tips & Variations
- Don’t have an ice cream maker? Pour the mixture into a loaf pan, stir every 30 minutes for 2–3 hours to simulate churning.
- Want extra mint? Add fresh mint leaves to the base while chilling and strain them out before churning.
- Add a drizzle of melted keto chocolate on top for extra indulgence.
