Double Dark Chocolate Keto Ice Cream (Ridiculously Good)
Keto-Style Chocolate Indulgence
As with many keto-friendly dessert recipes, this ice cream starts out with the use of some heavy whipping cream. It works perfectly for making treats like this because it helps to add that thick and creamy texture that will turn your keto ice cream into one yummy treat. More importantly, using one-and-a-half cups of it will add a ton of calories to your ice cream, with nearly 100% of them coming from fats. In fact, just one single cup of heavy whipping cream carries a whopping 413 calories and 44.3 grams of fat (1), meaning you’ll definitely be feeling satisfied after you enjoy this treat.
Stevia, An All-Natural Keto-Approved Sweetener
In order to ensure that the ice cream also helps to satisfy your sweet tooth, I recommend using stevia as a sweetener (or any other low-carb granulated sweetener variety). The reason that I suggest using stevia is that unlike refined table sugars (or even other artificial sweeteners), it has been used as an all-natural zero-calorie sweetener for centuries. It’s a fantastic alternative for absolutely anyone looking to reduce their sugar consumption, and there are even studies that have demonstrated the potential of stevia leaf extract as being a useful tool in the fight against obesity. (2) Of course, these benefits translate perfectly for anyone following a keto diet as well.
After mixing in your cocoa powder and dark chocolate, pour everything into an ice cream maker and then freeze it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
If you don’t already own an ice cream maker, I would highly recommend the Cuisinart ICE-30BC. It’s terrific for not only making keto-friendly ice cream, but also sorbets and frozen yogurt as well. You can purchase it by clicking here.
Although I strongly recommend using an ice cream maker to complete this recipe, it’s still not absolutely required. You can also just transfer your mixture into a container and then freeze it for several hours. Both options are completely viable, however, I personally prefer the ice cream maker method. Also, one final parting tip: if you really want to treat yourself a little bit, you can also optionally add in a bit of vodka when preparing this recipe as well.
