Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Sometimes ice cream is just what you need!  This keto simple to make version of mint chocolate chip will have you raving. Just mix, freeze and stir a few times.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream

1/4 cup Almond milk or water

1/2 to 3/4 tsp pure peppermint extract

3 oz of an 85% or 90% Chocolate Bar (You can use lily’s chocolate chips but I don’t care for the flavor.  I use Moser Roth.)

1/2 cup of Lankanto Monk Fruit sweetener

 

 

 

 

Directions

Chop the chocolate into small irregular pieces

Mix all ingredients but the chocolate together thoroughly

Stir in the chocolate

Place in a freezable container and cover.

Freeze for 5 hours stirring about every hour for at least the first 3 hours.

Serves 4

Variation

You can also do this recipe by whipping the cream first.  This does 5 things:

  1. It doubles the volume
  2. It tastes a little more like frozen custard
  3. it takes 6 hours to be ready instead of five
  4. By doubling the volume you get more 1/2 cup servings, thereby reducing the carbs per serving
  5. It does not need to be stirred as often.

I also leave out the almond milk or water in this variation.
