And let me tell you (as if you didn’t already know this), one of the hardest things to give up was ice cream. 🍫Chocolate Ice Cream. 🍓Strawberry Ice Cream. 🥥Coconut Ice Cream. All the ice creams!
It was hard friggin’ impossible to find keto vegan ice cream, and even more impossible to even dream about keto ice cream that wasn’t a bajillion dollars a pint.
With the daunting ice-cream-less future in our sights, we were like, “We gotta make keto ice cream and we gotta take it seriously!!” No mistakes, no typos (we see you, “keto.ice cream” and “keto icecream”), no inedible keto ice cream creations.

Tools for the Best Chocolate Keto Ice Cream
- Ice Cream Maker – this is the exact ice cream maker that I’ve been using for years and years. Yep, I even bought two new ones this year! (It’s basically an ice cream factory at my house.) It’s affordable, easy-to-use, nice-looking (doesn’t hurt) and works beautifully.
- Ice Cream Scoop – after years of dealing with tendonitis, I don’t play when it comes to a good friggin’ ice cream scoop. This is the one I turn to–it scoops ice cream so easily!
- Full Fat Coconut Milk + Coconut Cream – the two essential ingredients to create just the *perfect* creaminess to your chocolate keto ice cream.
- Keto Maple Syrup + Keto Sweetener Drops – after scouring the internet & using All of the Keto Sweeteners Known to Humankind, I can assure you, these are two of my faves. Pleasant sweetness, no weirdo aftertastes. There’s another keto maple syrup that I love, but for this recipe, I stick to this particular low carb sweetener for the just-right sweetness.
Whether you got here by searching “keto.ice cream” or “keto icecream” or “keto ice cream”, I’m glad you made it here. And just know that I, too, made at minimum 2,000 typos while typing just this sentence. 😉 I truly can’t wait to hear what you and your loved ones think of this low carb chocolate keto ice cream recipe!

Have you ever tried to make with monkfruit granular? Instead of drops? I ask because it’s what i have on hand. Thanks!!
Hi Rache! I haven’t tried it, but since monkfruit granular usually doesn’t dissolve completely it might affect the smoothness and texture of the ice cream. If you do try it, let me know what you think!
Hi!! It looks soooo good! I’ve been checking a lot of your recipes, and they look amazing!
I’ll definitely try them all! I have a question though… Can I replace the cocoa powder with regular chocolate? Might be a dumb question but I had to ask hahaha. Thank you!
Thanks María! And there’s absolutely no such thing as a dumb question around here. 🙂 It you use regular chocolate that is solid or melted, it will just turn out closer to chocolate chip ice cream than pure chocolate ice cream. Hope this helps, and hope you enjoy the recipe!
Would liquid stevia work in this recipe? I’m not sure if it’s a good substitute for monk fruit.
Hi Jen! Yep, stevia drops should work fine here. Hope you enjoy!
This was fantastic! I loved the chocolate flavors and how easy it was to make!
That’s fantastic! So happy to hear it Eden!
