Keto Chocolate Ice Cream
Summer means ice cream! This dairy-free ice cream is a cinch to whip up and doesn’t even require an ice cream machine! You simply place it in the freezer, give it a stir once or twice, and then scoop and eat. This recipe is made with Aroy-D coconut milk that comes in cartons. This is a wonderful creamy, full-fat coconut milk without thickeners or other additives. You can experiment with the sweeteners for this ice cream. It can be made with no sweetener at all, 3-4 tablespoons of erythritol, ½ teaspoon of stevia, or liquid stevia drops. Start with a little less sweetener and taste after step 2, and then add additional sweetener if you feel like it’s needed. Top your ice cream with crushed nuts (like walnuts), nut butter, or coconut flakes.
