🥄 How to Make Keto Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
1️⃣ Prepare the Creamy Mint Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- Heavy whipping cream
- Unsweetened almond milk
- Peppermint extract
- Powdered erythritol
Add a few drops of green food coloring (optional) for that classic minty look.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the mixture until stiff peaks form. This gives your ice cream its luxurious, scoopable texture.
2️⃣ Add Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips to evenly distribute them through the minty mixture.
3️⃣ Freeze
Transfer the mixture to a lidded, freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spatula.
Freeze for 4–6 hours, or overnight, until firm.
4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes for easier scooping.
Scoop into bowls, or enjoy in keto-friendly cones or with a dollop of whipped cream!
Optional Garnish: Top with extra chocolate chips or a sprig of mint for a fresh finish.
