🍃 Why You’ll Love This Keto Mint Chip Ice Cream

  • Low Carb & Sugar-Free – Sweetened with erythritol or your favorite keto-friendly sweetener.
  • Ultra Creamy – Thanks to a combo of heavy cream and almond milk.
  • Perfectly Minty – A fresh flavor burst with a subtle sweetness.
  • Easy to Make – No complicated steps, and it churns beautifully.

📝 Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour (or overnight) to enhance flavor and texture.
  3. Churn: Pour into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually about 20–30 minutes).
  4. Add chips: In the last few minutes of churning, add the sugar-free chocolate chips.
  5. 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.
