An easy dairy free, sugar free, and low carb keto ice cream recipe that everyone can enjoy, even if you’re not on a keto diet!
)
This creamy keto ice cream is absolutely delicious!
Serve in bowls, ice cream cones, or on top of Keto Cheesecake.
Without question, the most popular request I’ve been getting from readers in the past few months has been for more low carb and keto recipes.
You definitely do not need to be on a ketogenic diet, or any special diet at all, to enjoy this homemade and no sugar ice cream.
With just four ingredients, endless customization options to make different flavors, and the same luxurious creaminess of regular dairy ice cream, what’s not to love???

Vanilla or chocolate keto ice cream
The vanilla keto ice cream recipe is listed below. You can use either pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste. Or scrape out the seeds of one vanilla bean.
To make chocolate ice cream, simply stir in one fourth cup of regular unsweetened cocoa powder along with the other ingredients. That’s it!
You can also recreate your favorite Halo Top, Rebel, or Enlightened ice cream flavors at home. Turn the basic keto ice cream recipe into unlimited new flavors, simply by experimenting with different extracts and add-ins.
Stir in diced strawberries to make strawberry ice cream, pecans and butter extract for butter pecan, half a teaspoon of instant coffee, a handful of shredded coconut, or pure peppermint extract and chopped dark chocolate to get mint chocolate chip.

Sugar free ice cream ingredients
You need just four ingredients for this recipe: coconut milk, sweetener of choice (such as xylitol or erythritol), pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Be sure to look for full fat canned coconut milk, not lite coconut milk or the cartons of coconutmilk beverage sold in the dairy case. I have not tried substituting heavy cream.
Sugar free options that work well for the sweetener include granulated erythritol or xylitol, a low-glycemic and natural sugar alternative with 40% fewer calories that is absorbed more slowly than sugar and doesn’t have the same effect on insulin or blood sugar levels. (Just like chocolate, raisins, and avocados, it should not be fed to dogs.)
If you’re not counting carbs or watching sugar intake, you can absolutely feel free to use your favorite all purpose sweetener, such as sugar, honey, or pure maple syrup.
I have not tried allulose or stevia in this frozen dessert and therefore cannot personally recommend it here. Be sure to report back if you experiment.
The recipe is based on my Avocado Ice Cream and Coconut Ice Cream
How to make keto ice cream
Stir together the milk, sweetener of choice, salt, and pure vanilla extract. If making chocolate ice cream, stir in the cocoa powder too.
If you have an ice cream maker, prepare the machine according to the manual specific to your brand and model. (Some models need to be frozen ahead of time.)
Churn according to manufacturer’s instructions. I have a Cuisinart ice cream machine, which takes around fifteen minutes to make ice cream.
For a no churn version without an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in ice cube trays, which can be purchased for as little as two dollars at most grocery stores or home stores like Bed Bath Beyond.
Then blend the frozen ice cubes in a Vitamix, or thaw enough to blend in a food processor or a regular blender. I like to scoop it out with an ice cream scoop for an authentic ice cream shape.
The homemade keto ice cream recipe can be vegan, paleo, egg free, dairy free, low carb, sugar free, soy free, and gluten free.
If you are looking for a low fat or fat free frozen dessert recipe, I recommend this creamy Banana Ice Cream or my favorite Lemon Sorbet.
Keto Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 2 cups canned coconut milk
- 1/3 cup erythritol, xylitol, or sweetener of choice
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- optional ingredients for desired flavor
Instructions
- Be sure to use full-fat canned coconut milk, not lite or coconutmilk beverage. If desired, you can use the seeds from a vanilla bean instead of the extract. To make the keto ice cream: Stir together the milk, sweetener, salt, and vanilla extract. If you have an ice cream machine, simply churn according to manufacturer’s directions. Or to make it without an ice cream machine, freeze the mixture in ice cube trays, then blend the frozen cubes in a high-speed blender such as a Vitamix OR thaw them enough to then blend in a food processor or regular blender. Eat as-is, or freeze an hour or so for a firmer texture. Due to not having any preservatives or stabilizers, the keto ice cream is best the day it’s made, but you can technically freeze leftovers up to a month and thaw before serving.View Nutrition Facts

Natasha @ Thoughts of Tradition says
I love this recipe because of its simplicity. I’m no longer keto but I still would love to try this. I really hope you’re planning to post more ice cream recipes in the future, it’s one of my favorite foods as well!
You probably get this question a lot on your high-fat recipes, but would it be possible to substitute coconut cream for the full-fat milk, or would it turn out differently?
Thank you and have a wonderful Monday.
Jason Sanford says
You definitely can, and using coconut cream instead of milk will make it even creamer here.
jailan says
hello did coconut cream work and was it good ??
Mary says
I tried this recipe with 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon of espresso powder and it turned out awesome!
Stacey says
What kind of cocoa powder did you use? Also, was the cocoa powder AND espresso in addition to the other ingredients?
OH LA LAKTES says
That recipe arrives at just the right time. It’s about 31 degrees here and just yesterday I said that I would do anything for a bowl of ice cream. But as we’re sticking to a keto lifestyle I thought that indulging in a bowl of ice cream would not be an option. So YAY to this recipe!
E || OH LA LATKES
kane2742 says
For people in the US: 31°C = 87.8°F.
Adrienne says
Oh, thank you for that! I was just about to look up the conversion. Here when it’s 31 degrees, we usually look forward to a hot cup of coffee or tea!
Paige Flamm says
I need this in my life asap!

Debbie G says
I can not wait to try this. Ice cream is my biggest downfall.
Now, if I could only find a substitute for eggs I would be set. I am allergic to them and that makes keto difficult, but I keep trying. Thanks
Jacqui Rosa says
You can make a vegan egg with flaxseed and water or the juice from canned chickpeas, depending on what you are needing it for.
Audrey Duckworth says
There are no eggs mentioned in the recipe or ingredients, are they required?
Jason Sanford says
No eggs needed!
Dawn says
How much cocoa powder for the chocolate version? And what about adding a nut butter?
Jason Sanford says
Adding a nut butter sounds like a wonderful idea! Just throw in a few spoonfuls 🙂
https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2015/08/03/vegan-chocolate-ice-cream/
Cherie Peck says
even egg whites?
Savanah says
Chai seed egg. Chai with water, creates a gelatin, perfect for an egg substitute and costa less than flax
Deborah Henderson says
Just use an egg substitute by Bob’ Red Mill. Haven’t tried it but it’s available.
Teresa says
Same! I can’t eat eggs. Make it hard!!
Emma says
I’ve read where chia seeds can be used for egg.
Brittany Audra @ Audra's Appetite says
Too ironic: I just made coconut milk ice cream (a chocolate flavor though!) this past weekend!!! Delicious 🙂
Janene says
What did you use for the chocolate?

MaryBeth says
There’s nothing “ironic” about that; it’s not irony, it’s coincidence. The only thing that is ironic is you using that word to describe something that is not ironic.
Jess says
That’s not very kind. We are just here to read recipes. But since you are clearly interested in using words properly, go to dictionary.com and look at the third definition of ironic and you’ll see she used it correctly. You’re welcome! (Ironically of course).

Funny as heck!
Laura says
I AM So sad you have decided to promote keto diet. This is not a way of life I see as sustainable or long term healthy. It is coincidentally keto and if I had not studied the science more in depth than most I would buy in. I see less health long term being in Ketoacidosis. It is a fad, and not for me long term.
Natalie says
Hi Laura, just reading your comment and I feel the need to reply to let you know that ketogenic diets and ketoacidosis are completely different states in the body. If you have indeed read as much as you claim, I’m sure you’re aware that ketosis or a state of burning fat for fuel, is not even similar to a state of ketoacidosis seen mostly in type 1 diabetics.
A state of ketoacidosis is dangerous for more reasons than having ketones present in your body. When a diabetic is in a state of ketoacidosis or DKA, they have high blood sugar (uncontrollable with exogenous insulin) AND ketones in the blood. Not only does this mean that their high blood glucose can affect nerves and organs, but it also causes an increase in the amount of acid in the blood- further complicating their body’s homeostasis (or natural state of being). Most healthy individuals who are in ketosis due to a LCHF diet do not have high blood sugar at the same time as they are consuming increased amounts of fat.
I think it’s important to let you know that it’s great that you shared your opinion but I do think that perhaps you may need a bit more education on ketosis vs. ketoacidosis. Cheers!
Jane says
Well said and thank you! People read “keto” and assume it’s ketoacidosis. I suppose being a 35 year diabetic I knew the difference. Ketogenic eating is a wonderful way of eating for people trying to lose as well as diabetics!
Kathryn says
YES!!! I am type2 and very very healthy maintaining a keto lifestyle. Losing weight. Lowered BS by nearly 70 points. No IBS anymore.
Ragan says
What is the serving size?
kristi says
Thank you. I had a diabetic dietician steer me wrong on this for 2 years. (Kept gaining on their diet plan, my endocrinologist kept upping my insulin so I read everything I could and Ive come to my own conclusion. Ive cut in half my insulin and so far..lost 12 pounds in one month.i feel better in 2 years since my cancer treatment killed my pancreas. Stage4 4 lung cancer survivor. Breast cancer survivor. Diabetic contender. My head is clear for the first time in a very long time.
Im using nuts, full fats..meats, soups veggies. I also have gastrophresis no raw veggies..but cooked I can..so soups are a must. Had stir fry cabbage onion shrimp with butter tonight.
Ive bern on ompresole proton prohibiter..which I went off because 1. Caused me to have sibo ane 2. Caused me to have pneumonia seversl times a year. The sibo, intestinal distress was hideous, I got told by my last primary I would pretty much have to live with this, my homeopathic Doctor said no, the antibiotics from pneumonia treatment plus my multiple contrasts test (ive lost count) messed everything up. Eating clean is amazing..goes against everything ive bern taught snd convinced it wouldn’t work…till I tried it. So any doubters, educate yourselves.
Kristi says
I made this ice cream..added ice in my bleder and it was yummy. I do have a I’ve cream freezer will do that soon. I also have dark chocolate cocoa organic..it worked wonderfully. Thank you for adding me!
Josephine B says
Kristi, thank you for you input and I’m sorry to hear of your medical history, but it’s people like you putting it out there that others can see and read that they don’t have to be left in the out-bounds of enjoying a part of life – EATING – Glad to hear that you’re doing better now with all of your changes. I have a very dear friend that’s going through a similar problem and I’ve mentioned to her about the Keto “menu” (as I call it) as hubby and I have been on it for just over 12 months now and love it. We’ll certainly enjoy these ice cream recipes that Katie is preparing for us.
Lisa says
This is a bit late, but glad to hear you got knowledge and educated yourself as to the truths and myths the “professionals” use. It can be an amazing journey if we just know a bit about things ourselves. I have had many many misdiagnoses by supposed “professionals”. Congrats on your new health!!
Wanda says
So true Natalie.
Sometimes people jump to conclusions and really have no idea what a keto diet is.
I’m living the keto lifestyle and feel great, no more prediabetes and joint pain etc. etc.
Plus I’ve lost heaps of weight, even without trying, just living the keto way of life.
Mark McDonald says
This is incorrect. Please reference people who have been in ketosis for over 40 years. Please reference hundreds of peer reviewed research articles published in reputable national journals (see: national institute of health online database). It is certainly not for everyone, but it is not dangerous for the general population. Anything labeled “keto” can be magically incorporated into the SAD diet instead of you would prefer. You could make this ice cream and top it off with lots chocolate syrup or eat it after a nice big pizza and Coca Cola for example. It’s really in the choice of the person eating the food at the end of the day.
Jamie says
I would much rather see people GET OFF all their processed foods and eat wholesome real food. Using fat for fuel gives me greater mental clarity, energy and helps me control my weight. I do limit my dairy as much as possible and no toxic processed meats. I know people in their 70s and 80s who have embraced the Keto way of eating, they are much healthier than those still on the high sugar/carb program.
DHart says
Totally agree! I’m a mom of a T1D son and I’m doing the Keto thing for a while. Two very different things : ketosis vs ketoacidosis!!
Darlene Baillie says
Thank you…..I was trying to say the same thing. My granddaughter is type 1 and I know what ketoacidosis is. I have been in ketosis since Nov 25 2019 and my colitis of 15 yrs is gone…my fibromyalgia is pretty much non existent and the fatty enzymes in my liver are gone. I have lost 67 lbs and went from a size 24 to a 12. I am the healthiest I have ever been. My husband is off all meds as am I and we are 60 and 56. Yay keto and I educated myself but my dr was also behind it.
Ken says
Laura, you yourself not being an expert nor having done any scientifically backed researched yourself are not qualified to tell people that things are unhealthy or a “fad.” Many have been on kept for years with great success. Like everything, it must be approached intelligently.
Janet Frank says
I’ve been a Type 1 diabetic for 33 years. Hated the word diet and broke the rules and ate carbs constantly. Insulin requirements went up constantly too. At my last visit with my endocrinologist, I mentioned that I’d sure like to lose some weight. I had gained 75 pounds over the last 20 years. He suggested the keto diet, and I, of course, blew him off. Then my son found a spot on his liver (benign thankfully), and needed to lose weight. I challenged him and decided to try the keto diet. I am SO impressed with it! Great wholesome foods, no processed food, delicious meals and recipes! I’ve lost 14.5 pounds in 22 days! Feel fantastic! Haven’t been hungry or had cravings for sweets! Should have listened to him in the first place!
Jon says
Hello, “Laura”;
Actually, I don’t know what sources you’re referencing but you obviously have confused the KETOGENIC diet with the medical condition “diabetic ketoacidosis”, which is a complication of type 1 diabetes.
It is a common mistake.
Unless you are a type 1 diabetic, ketoacidosis almost never happens.
The keto diet is actually a VERY healthy way to live, with greatly reduced chances of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, &x cancer, because all of those are byproducts of or complications from excess carbohydrate consumption.
Do your self a favor; REALLY research the keto diet. You might find out it’s the best possible choice for you.
Hopefully helpful.
Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!
Michelle says
My family has been on Keto for over a year now. I’ve lost 110lbs and my husband has lost 70. Trust me, it’s sustainable. My bloodwork and overall heath is fantastic.
Lindsey says
You clearly have not studied the science of keto at all if you think the goal is to get into ketoacidosis. Stick with what you know. I’m sure your opinion was greatly needed and apprecuated.
Lindsey says
*appreciated
A.G. says
This is just so wrong Laura. You obviously didn’t do any actual research. There’s far too much to list here, but here’s hoping you’ve decided to actually learn about what you’ve criticized since posting this before telling people it’s an unhealthy “fad”. I’ve been eating keto for 3 years. Lost over 100lbs, and ALL of my Hashimoto’s symptoms have disappeared. According to my blood tests I’ve been in total remission for over two and half years, and I’ve felt healthier and happier in the last three years than I have the entire rest of my life. There are millions who have been on this diet for years, so it’s obviously sustainable, and I can’t tell you how tired I am of people who haven’t even bothered to learn about the diet telling me I’m just engaging in a “fad”. Plastic lace chokers were a “fad”. Pet rocks were a “fad”. A years long lifestyle that results in ultimate health and total remission of an autoimmune disease is NOT a “fad”.
Catsco says
Well said!
Darlene says
AG thank you so much for talking about your Hashimoto’s. I was diagnosed with it last year when I finally begged my doctor to do a more thorough test of my thyroid. It has been a nightmare with all the symptoms I have been going through plus the doctors have me on pain medication that I want to stop and I am at my wits end trying to get someone to help me.
I am grateful that now I have an opportunity to try the Keto diet to get the Hashimoto’s in remission. Maybe in the mean time I can find help to stop taking the pain medication. Thank you again. Darlene
Teri says
Ketosis is NOT Ketoacidosis. Benign nutritional ketosis is a controlled, insulin regulated process which results in a mild release of fatty acids and ketone body production in response to either a fast from food, or a reduction in carbohydrate intake. Ketoacidosis is driven by a lack of insulin in the body.
Cam says
Laura,
You should get your facts straight before passing comment.
A Ketogenic Diet does NOT put the body into a state of Ketoacidosis. The body goes into a state of Ketosis where it burns Keytones created by carbohydrate restriction and increased healthy fat intake for energy rather than excess glucose that the standard American diet produces through a gross over-consumption of carbohydrates.
As a Type 2 Diabetic who was diagnosed after I went into Diabetic Keto acidosis and rushed to the ICU (before I ever even knew what Keto was) and someone who has completely controlled blood sugar levels and lost almost 100lbs following a Keto lifestyle, I have first hand experience of the difference between the two.
Please do your research before you demonize anyone’s lifestyle choices. Otherwise you just come across as uneducated and narrow-minded.
Amanda says
I am an ER nurse and a Type 1 diabetic, I am EXTREMELY familiar with DKA (diabetic Keto Acidosis) as it is one of the primary causes for death in type 1 diabetics. DKA and the ketosis you are in with the keto diet are NOT THE SAME! Keto is an amazing diet, especially for those who are diabetic. Managing blood sugar is the single most important thing to decreasing complications and living a longer life.
Lewis says
It seems as though you may misunderstand what the keto diet is about. Following this diet for more than a year, I have lost more than 100 pounds, corrected my dependency on statins for high blood pressure and eliminated the need for daily doses of medication for acid reflux. I have far more energy, better mental clarity, and my blood chemistry has self-corrected from borderline diabetic to normal in every respect. The keto diet doesn’t induce keto acidosis, which is a dangerous medical condition typically occuring in uncontrolled Type 1 diabetes; instead, it supports ketosis, which is a safe state in which the body switches to using fat for fuel instead of glucose (from carbohydrates). Done correctly, the keto diet is perfectly sustainable even for vegans..
Elise James says
Hi, Laura and Friends,
The keto diet means very different things to different people. Many people with multiple sclerosis, myself included, use a version that has a LOT of leafy green veggies and other nutrition dense berries and vegetables. For example, The Wahls Protocol (https://terrywahls.com/start/) and Ketotarian (https://drwillcole.com/ketotarian/) which is my favorite due to its many vegetarian and vegan recipes. These diets do not include dairy products, legumes, or sugar and the Ketotarian ones only include seafood but no meat. Sign up for the email list for either and you’ll get free recipes! Happy eating!
Michelle says
Due to having so many food sensitivities and allergies, along with inflammation issues and autoimmune disorders, this is a way of life for me and many other people. Maybe there were some things you left out in your studies because this is the only way I can eat and therefore, it is sustainable. I’ve been Keto for almost 2 years and I feel better at 40 than I did in my 20’s.
Doug Griffith says
Who the hell cares.
Darlene Baillie says
You do not go into ketoacidosis. My granddaughter is a type 1 diabetic and she goes into ketoacidosis when her sugar levels are too high and she produces ketones. Not good, you are right. BUT I have been in KETOSIS for 10 months now and have healed my body from colitis, fibromyalgia and fatty liver disease. Ketosis is when you have LOWblood sugar and produce ketones. This is when your body burns fat for fuel instead of carbs.
Nina says
I love it. So delicious and creamy.
Bowdy says
Thanks for the recipe Katie. It is definitely a task sifting through all the info on keto diet. Lots of stuff on how to start the diet. I’m thinking results come from sticking to it and “finishing” the diet, aka changing lifestyle. I’ve found with other things that having a mentor is crucial. It creates accountability and reminds you that you really are on the right track!
Leila Kennedy says
As a diabetic and lactose intolerant, this is the only way I can eat ice cream. I add unsweetened cocoa and extra aspartame to make a wonderful chocolate ice cream, then I add chopped up bananas or 1/2 tsp of peppermint extract – yum! Or instead of chocolate, I add lemon and peppermint extracts, together. Great! For the serious chocoholics, melt some dark chocolate in the microwave and add that to the unsweetened cocoa – incredible!
Jason Sanford says
That sounds so good!
Marykays1 says
Leila, your post is quite old and maybe you have learned this by now…… But aspartame is quite toxic. Please use non-GMO erythritol instead. Zero carbs without the side effects …. Found in such products as as Lakanto or Swerve.

Coconut is a ketogenic’s best friend. It’s definitely a favorite of mine when it comes to ice cream! I really want to try making my own soymilk ice cream–that would be delicious!
Winni says
I just love to eat yummy ice cream in the hot summer.
Thanks for sharing the best recipe.
Pragya says
Thanks for this easy recipe! I am no longer in keto but will surely try this recipe. Is this ice cream possible if I use almond milk instead?
Jason Sanford says
Probably not, as it doesn’t have as much fat. I’d recommend this one instead: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2013/07/05/ice-cream-recipe-healthy-vegan/
Ashley Dense says
This looks so good! I currently have light coconut milk, which I purchased by mistake. I know with keto I need to eat full fat but it has less than one carb per 1/3 cup. Also, how big of a can do I need?
One last question: The nutrition facts state that one serving is over 7 carbs. Unfortunately that’s too many carbs for me on Keto as far as dessert. Is it over 7 carbs because it isn’t accounting for net carbs with the use of erythritol? Thanks!
Jason Sanford says
Yup, carbs were counted without accounting for net carbs. Can size is 13.5oz or so (standard), definitely need the full fat one for the ice cream to taste creamy
Robyn says
I’m sorry if I missed it what is used to make the chocolate version please?
Thank you I love your recipes!!!

What happens if I use coconut milk beverage instead of canned ? 🙁
I want to make it now but it’s all I have
Alyssa says
I’m excited to try this recipe because I miss ice cream so much! This comment is for anyone that is here looking for Keto recipes. Xylitol is NOT a great sugar sub for Keto. It negatively impacts ketones and it spikes your blood glucose levels. If you don’t watch Keto Connect on youtube I really recommend checking them out. Here is a video they made comparing the different sweeteners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYfqvTZWilw. You can fast forward to 8:45 for Xylitol results, they labeled it as a no-go sweetener.
Eklutna says
Two comments: first of all, I’ve only discovered your site recently because (a) I. no longer eat refined sugar, and (b) after a year of no ice cream, I bought an ice cream maker and am making maple syrup sweetened ice cream, with varied success, which brings me to my comments/questions: first, this recipe calls for xylitol or erythritol, and as a person with three dogs, may I just mention that dogs can be killed by consuming xylitol. For this reason, I don’t use it, because they adore ice cream, and I can’t resist giving them a little occasionally…and I might forget. This is important!! Second: I keep reading coconut milk ice cream recipes (and others as well) that jump up and down and insist that these recipes makes this amazing, creamy ice cream, and….it doesn’t. I have made ice cream with coconut milk (full-fat) And coconut cream and it is usually icy, if delicious. Not creamy. Same for my one or two forays into making dairy ice cream to see how that would work. All of it is full of ice crystals and while it may be delicious, creamy it is not, although ice cream made with cashews and plant milk does pretty well. My theory is that commercial ice cream is filled with chemicals and stabilizers and the like, and is therefore what we call creamy. All the ice cream I have made with my Cuisinart ice cream maker freezes hard as a rock, and again–while it may be delicious, it is NOT creamy. Is it possible that I’m doing something wrong? I can’t see that I’m doing anything differently from the various vegan and/or dairy recipes I’ve seen. I’ve used both maple sugar and maple syrup for sweetening, as well as occasionally coconut sugar. My most successful ice cream has been made with plant milk and maple syrup. Getting everything as cold as possible before freezing helps, of course, but it is NEVER creamy. Thoughts?
Liza says
try Katie’s banana ice cream. It is super creamy!
Amanda says
I have made this recipe several times now and my family loves it! Hubby is doing a weightloss program and this is really a treat for him. Freeze in popsicle molds and Kids love it too. I make them chocolate and they taste like fudgesicles. But the last two times its really grainy with the coconut fats in the milk after blending and freezing. The first few times it was perfect.Im pretty sure i used the same kind of coconut milk. Any idea what might be happening?? Thank you
Jason Sanford says
Maybe a climate thing? Sometimes humidity or lack of can do strange things to coconut products!
Angie says
Hey quick question! If I’m using stevia instead of xylitol would it still be 1/3 cup? Thank you!!
Kelley says
Would it be possible to use almond milk instead of coconut? I did read most of the comments and didn’t see anything about that, but may have missed so apologize if I did.
Thanks!
Jason Sanford says
No but you can use this recipe instead 🙂 https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2018/08/06/almond-milk-ice-cream-recipe/
Amber M. says
New to Keto here, but it’s working well & id like to avoid derailing. Where can I find the nutrition info on this? The way I prepped it (&added 100%cocoa powder), MyFitness Pal is registering 1/6 of the recipe as over 26 carbs. Obviously I’m doing something wrong. Is granular swerve a bad choice of sweetener after all?
Jessica Lee Dooley says
Hello dolly! I added cinnamon! Fantastic!
Necklie Geoge says
The Atkins Diet is an amazing weight loss diet plan that helps you lose weight without counting calories. You can lose as much as 10 to 30 pounds in the first month on atkins diet meal plan of meat, fish, eggs, cheese, good carbs and good fats!
Nickie says
Katie, you’ve done it again! 😀
Years ago, for 6 weeks, I had to go gluten & dairy free to reduce brain inflammation. I was distraught over the condition, but also over the drastic dietary changes I needed to make. I stumbled upon your website & it was so awesome! Not only was every recipe dairy free, you also always tried to make allowances for people trying to avoid gluten or sugar. Your cashew ice cream & black bean brownies helped get me through! Lol
Now, my husband and I are trying the Keto lifestyle, which has allowed us to lose a combined weight of about 75lbs, and my husband is no longer diabetic! Things are going well, so my mother-in-law has decided to try it, but she doesn’t do well with dairy, so she’s had some difficulty finding recipes. Tonight I decided to check your website, & sure enough, you have a whole section with Keto-friendly recipes!
I refer gluten/dairy-free/vegetarian/vegan friends to your website constantly. Now I can refer my Keto friends here too. 🙂
Thanks for trying to help so many, and cater to a variety of dietary restrictions!!
<3
Jason Sanford says
Thank you so much, this really means so much to us!! 🙂

Can you use almond milk instead of coconut? I prefer almond milk to coconut(although It is nice to find a recipe with coconut milk as my brother is allergic to almonds.)

Lindsey says
Ummm…I love this! So good. I was wondering what brand of coconut milk you used. There is no fiber in my coconut milk and I am guessing that it is not coming from the vanilla and sweetener. ? Thank you so much. Delicious!
Jason Sanford says
Good question! I just plugged this recipe into the Verywell Fit calorie calculator online (formerly Calorie Count) because your question made me curious as well, and it shows coconut milk as being the source of the fiber. So maybe they are basing it off fresh coconut milk? Coconut, itself, has a lot of fiber, so if you blend it to make your own homemade coconut milk, I guess that would probably be what they’re getting it from. Jason
Lindsey says
Bummer! Thanks for looking into it.
Eliza says
DO you use the fat at the top of the can, or poke a hole and just use the milk? I just put a can in the blender with the milk and top, hard fat/oil layer on top and it’s not blending. Should I heat it slightly? Guessing I should not strain it off as I want the fat content for the ice cream. Just read through all the comments and don’t see anything about this. Please advise. I have a can of Trader Joes 100% coconut milk. Thanks!
Carly says
Eliza- I have struggled with Trader Joe’s coconut milk before. It’s grainy and separates… use simple truth or something other than the Trader Joe’s brand!!
Eliza says
I’m all set. I heated the mixture slightly on the stove top. All incorporated. (The interior of my house is below 70 degrees. LOL!)

Made this last night in our Cuisinart ice cream maker, and it came out incredible! We used Lakanto Monkfruit sweetener instead of Xylitol (we’ve read that it spikes sugar a little bit), and served it with some keto chocolate sunflower butter brownie cookies that we baked alongside the ice cream. SOOO GOOD!!
Question: How much cocoa (or cacao) powder would you recommend adding to the recipe for chocolate ice cream?
Jason Sanford says
Hi! I would just use this one 🙂 https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2015/08/03/vegan-chocolate-ice-cream/
Cindy says
Hello, I want to try this but am wondering – does it tastes like coconut? Thanks!
Jason Sanford says
I don’t think so at all! But you can make it a mint chocolate version if you want to add a little pure peppermint extract, and then it DEFINITELY wouldn’t taste like coconut because the mint would hide that. But still, I don’t think the original version tastes like coconut. (On the other hand, if you DO want a coconut flavor, just add a little coconut extract.)
JFC says
I’m looking at the nutrition label info for this recipe, and see that by using full-fat coconut milk it ends up with one serving containing almost 17 grams of saturated fat that alone is 85% of an adult’s daily allowance.
I understand the value and attraction of offering up low sugar recipes for all kinds of different reasons. But to talk about “healthy” recipes and then offer up one serving of an ice cream recipe that contains almost the same amount of saturated fat as two entire Big Mac hamburgers (8g sat fat each) seems very wrong!
How about some ice cream recipes that are not heavy on sugar and also NOT laden with saturated fat, which isn’t healthy by anyone’s definition. If I want that much saturated fat in my diet, I’ll go and buy Ben and Jerry’s…
Jason Sanford says
Hi JFC, this recipe is meant specifically for those on the keto diet or looking for keto-friendly recipes, which are by definition high in fat, and people have different beliefs as to how much fat is healthy. Katie has a lot of other recipes on her site for those not interested in the keto diet: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/category/healthy-ice-cream-recipes/
Hope that helps!
JFC says
Thanks for the prompt reply… I do understand you’re catering to an audience with varying diet/nutrition objectives. But I think, 17g of saturated fat per serving is A LOT by any dietary standard. Cheers!
mandrake11 says
JFC – yes…it is high in fat…because it is Keto.
The Keto diet, by definition is not only just low sugar/low carb, but high fat.
Brigitte says
Hello. I’ve been wondering. If real ice cream is made with
cream, eggs and sugar. Couldn’t you still use same
authentic ingredients just replace sugar?
Suzie says
Hey Katie,
I don’t know much about the Keto diet, but this ice cream is fabulous! I can’t wait for summer to try this recipe… 🙂
Cherie says
First, you can’t just say ‘salt’ for keto. Keto only allows certain salts. No table salt! All salts taste diff So when salt is added to a keto recipe it needs to be listed as a specific salt! When I read ‘salt’ in a recipe, i automatically think table salt. Himilayin salt is keto, but doesn’t taste like table salt.
Also, why not use heavy whipping cream instead? I don’t/ can’t use coconut cream / milk.
Emily Mascord says
Is coconut milk even keto friendly at all? Most keto guides I’m reading says coconut cream is keto grade A but coconut milk is to be limited as it has more carbs. Wondering if swapping the coconut milk out with the cream would work in terms of texture? Anyone?
Jason Sanford says
Coconut cream works! 🙂
JoAnne says
anybody have a recipe for low carb cones to go with this? LOL. going to get some coconut milk today. ice cream is a weaknes for me
Shanae says
Is placing the mixture in ice cubes and then blending the ice cubes the best way? Just wondering what’s the different between doing that and just pouring it all in a pan and freezing it that way 🙂
W says
Loving the keto recipes!
Alicia says
I am allergic to coconut so Keto is proving difficult. Is there a suitable substitute for ice cream?
Jason Sanford says
There is! https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2018/08/06/almond-milk-ice-cream-recipe/
Rayne says
What is a serving size? 1/2 cup or 1 cup? And is a single serving 184 calories? Or 184 calories for 5 servings?
Diane says
Can this ice cream be made with something other than coconut milk? I am allergic
Jason Sanford says
This one is coconut free and can easily be made keto using a keto friendly sweetener https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2018/08/06/almond-milk-ice-cream-recipe/
Zoe says
so delicious, rich, and creamy!! I made the vanilla ice cream, which of course also has a strong coconut flavor but I LOVE coconut. I used granulated Swerve for the sweetener and only used 1/4 cup instead of 1/3 cup and it was still really sweet! I also added way more vanilla than the recipe called for but that’s what I like. I have a cuisinart ice cream maker and churned it in that for 30+ minutes while scraping the sides pretty frequently, then transferred to a glass Tupperware to freeze. While the ice cream was churning I made Keto chocolate fudge brownies from gnom-gnom.com. While the brownies were still warm from the oven I put some in a bowl and topped with the ice cream. It was the best brownie sundae I’ve ever had! Thanks Katie for the amazing recipe!
Crystal says
I just made this tonight and used stevia and it really taste terrible. This is my first time using stevia or any sweetener that’s not sugar. Any suggestions?? I was really hoping this would work out. Maybe I could omit the sweetener all together? Thanks in advance for anyone who can help!
Jason Sanford says
Hmm what brand of stevia are you using? Brands of that can be really hit or miss!
I MUCH prefer erythritol for sugar free baking. Have you tried that yet? This is the brand Katie lists in her recipes: https://amzn.to/2N6rIwI
Jennifer says
Hi! I want to make this but I just realized I only have coconut cream. Can I use this in place of the coconut milk? Do I need to dilute it? I’m not sure what consistency I’m going for. I imagine heavy cream would be the best option for dilution?
Thanks!
Jason Sanford says
No need to dilute it! Coconut cream works really well here 🙂
Vicky Davis says
Hi Katie, flavor wise and effort this is a great recipe, but my coconut milk didn’t miss up smoothly, no matter how long I wisked it which let little small lumps in my ice cream. Any suggestions for next time?
Jason Sanford says
Hey Vicky, it should have still gotten smooth in the vitamix… Or did you use a different method? If you used an ice cream machine and for some reason still had lumps (finicky can of coconut milk?), you could always blend the mixture before putting it into the machine and that should work too!
Jason
Wuffy says
I have a big problem with all these keto recipes that use xylitol and similar sugar alcohol sweeteners. They are VERY toxic to dogs. …And don’t tell me to just keep it away from my dog, accidents happen, kids do dumb things and never underestimate the cleverness of a dog that wants to get ahold of something they are not supposed to have.
Jason Sanford says
Well the same could be said for chocolate, avocado, and raisins. All of those things are poisonous to dogs. Unfortunately yes, it means one has to be careful and absolutely should never feed anything to a dog without being sure it’s ok.
Jason
Fawn Neun says
If you have a dog, you should know what they can and cannot without everyone publishing recipes for a completely different species being required to add a warning label for you.
Bekah says
Originally when we made this the coconut was incredibly over powering. But we added some lime juice and boom pina colada. It was delicious. Thanks for an awesome recipe.
Lee-Anne says
Hi, the keto ice cream looks great, I look forward to trying it. Please put a warning with any recipes that contain xylitol to never share with your pets….xyllitol is deadly to cat’s and dogs. It worries me that there’s no warning about this on many labels, as I know many pet parents share treats or let their pets lick the bowl. Thanks.
Jason Sanford says
Hi! Honestly it’s just never a good idea to feed people food to dogs in general unless consulting with a vet. The same warning could be said for chocolate, avocado, and raisins. All of those things are poisonous to dogs. Unfortunately yes, it means one has to be careful and absolutely should never feed anything to a dog without being sure it’s ok. LOL with all the chocolate, Katie’s site is not dog friendly even though she is!
Potato says
This recipe is pretty good, although I used sucralose, and heavy cream.
One pet peeve of mine is when something is called ice cream, but doesn’t contain any cream, which it must to really be ice cream. This is a nice frozen treat as-is, but it simply isn’t ice cream.
Debbie Cross says
Hi! What is the actual serving size? Thanks!
Jason Sanford says
Makes 4-5 servings!
Furluge says
Could you please tell us how many grams of chocolate or cocoa powder you recommend?
Will says
You’re a godsend Katie. Thanks.
Ben says
It was only okay. The coconut milk flavor overpowers everything else, as usual. Some kind of heavy cream/almond milk mixture would probably work better as a base.
Jason Sanford says
Hi, try the mint chocolate version or coffee or chocolate to mask any coconut flavor. Or you can sub heavy cream in an equal amount. For almond milk, try this one instead: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2018/08/06/almond-milk-ice-cream-recipe/
karen says
Wow i only wanted to make ice cream! I always look to comments for extra advice but obviously just a bunch of so called Keto experts trying to prove they are right ! There are tons of sites where this conversation can take place i don’t see why it has to be over a recipe for ice cream , makes wanting to prepare food a nightmare!
Michael Beck says
What is the 5th ingredient to make chocolate ice cream?
Jamie says
I would much rather see people GET OFF all their processed foods and eat wholesome real food. Using fat for fuel gives me greater mental clarity, energy and helps me control my weight. I do limit my dairy as much as possible and no toxic processed meats. I know people in their 70s and 80s who have embraced the Keto way of eating, they are much healthier than those still on the high sugar/carb program.
Fawn Neun says
Coconut milk comes in 15-ounce cans, so I’ll just have to figure out the proportions for the rest of it. It would be nice if these recipes took the size of commercial packaging into account. Like “3/4 cup pumpkin puree”? Seriously?! You get a can. It’s 15 ounces. Who is going to save the leftover and unknown amount of pumpkin puree?
Isabel Sweet says
I added sugarless chocolate chips.. so delicious. Love that it’s homemade!
Claudine says
i really love this Keto Ice Cream recipe. . . . . but where can i find the macros? (I am a newbie on Keto diet, and i want to check and count the calories, carbs, protein, fat….etc.) 😊
Jason Sanford says
Hi, nutrition facts are always listed for Katie’s recipes if you click the “view nutrition facts” link under the recipe ingredients and instructions 🙂
Luke Cripps says
Hi,
I made this last night, I will be giving it a go tonight!
Is it 2.6 net carbs per serving or 4.4?
Thanks
Luke
Joshua Berger says
TLDR
J says
It tastes so much like coconut eventhough I added 4 tsp coffee emulco.. help! I would like to make a coffee flavour and a dark chocolate flavour. It’s hard to get our hands on almond milk while coconut milk is easily available.
Jay Valenzuela says
5 stars! I find your Keto recipe blog very insightful! This is the best Fitness & Healthy Info Blog I’ve read so far! I read it everyday
Martin siggins says
How many grans is a ‘serving’ based on?
Thanks
Ennio says
If I wanted to add cocoa powder how much should I add?
Jason Sanford says
1/4 cup is good! https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/vegan-chocolate-ice-cream/
Grant says
Why aren’t the macros included in these? It’d be beyond helpful!

The coconut flavor, the easy instructions and minimal ingredients makes this my fave ice cream of all time. I added keto candied pecans and in heaven. Will be my go to recipe from now on! Thank you.
Ridhima Thapar says
Hi. Can we use heavy cream in place of coconut milk
Darryl says
Was this ever answered?
MsFitz says
I bought a dash single serving ice cream maker. I used your recipe and it turned out amazing. I look forward to making more of your recipes. Thanks!!!
Rebecca says
Very creamy. But, I made with 1/3 C Swerve, and it tasted far too sweet, or maybe not sweet but bad. I couldn’t ever make or eat it again.
Is there some other sweetener I should use or different amount?
Kasey says
Wow! This is amazing! Perfection! Thank you for sharing this!
Feda says
Hi. What are the Microsoft for this icecream recipe? I need to keep track of my intakes. Thanks

Sorry for the auto correct mistake.
Hi. What are the nutri values (fat, protine, net carb) for this icecream recipe? I need to keep track of my intakes. Thanks
Eric Lamb says
So this recipe tastes good, but the consistency is meh. Heavy crystallization that would benefit from some alcohol added to the recipe. Froze up like a brick…
CCK Media Team says
Hi! Thank you so much for trying it! In general, homemade ice cream is best right out of the blender/machine or only frozen for a half hour or so once made because of the lack of gums, stabilizers, or preservatives in storebought ice cream.
Melody says
Hi I made this ice cream for the first time and it came out fantastic! Just made again and doubled the batch, mixed ingredients and fat from the milk solidified at top while churning. There that batch out and tried immediately after with another batch of coconut milk same results!!?? I reread recipe thinking I forgot something but didn’t. When you watch video, u add another milk in addition to written recipe, is this where I went wrong? Had no issues with first batch I made? Please advise? Thank you!
CCK Media Team says
Hmm, if it worked as a single version but not double, maybe it just didn’t blend/churn correctly when doubled because the ice cream maker was too full? We’ve never tried a double recipe so honestly don’t know how it would turn out.
Melody says
Hi thanks, for the reply. I immediately tried the single version and same thing happene, the fat solidified at top? Was wondering, per my question in previous comment is it because I didn’t add other milk? The video recipe differs from the written recipe? Thanks
CCK Media Team says
Hi, you can use all coconut milk as long as you use the full amount. What are you doing differently from the first time you made it when it worked?
Melody says
That is what I was trying to gather? I don’t recall watching the video first time which means I didn’t see the additional 1/2 cup milk that is included on the video but not in written recipe.. will try again. thanks, much.
Michele gillespie says
My boyfriend saw an add on his phone and surprised me with a box delivered with a sample pack 9 pints of KETO icecream I am diabetic and never had anything so delicious with out the carbs thank u
Grace Freer says
Including very new into keto, what’s the best add to make this chocolate? Thank you!!
Grace says
* I’m very new! Darn auto correct!
CCK Media Team says
Hi! Just use this recipe for the chocolate version. Use all canned coconut milk and you can use erythritol or swerve instead of sugar: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/vegan-chocolate-ice-cream/
Tracy Barnett says
Yes!!! This is a keeper! I did add a little less than 1/4 cup cacao powder. So good. Definitely helped with my ice cream addiction
Pam says
Isn’t there lots of sugar in coconut cream?
CCK Media Team says
Hi, there is a lot of sugar in the cream of coconut product often used to make alcoholic drinks. Actual coconut cream is usually sold near the coconut milk (canned) and the only ingredient is coconut. No sugar 🙂
Heidi says
Wanted to get a Keto ice cream recipe WITHOUT coconut. I really dint like coconut!
Derek says
I’m not able to see the nutritional index for this recipe.
How many carbs per how much weight.
Anyone know?

What’s the serving size? It doesn’t say in the nutrition facts
Chrissy says
Looks so good! I must try this recipe.
Kathie says
Can coconut cream be used instead of coconut milk? I’m really finicky and I prefer Thai Kitchen brand coconut cream over any coconut milk. The coconut flavor is subtle.
CCK Media Team says
It can!
margarette Jupiter says
I need help with my keto diet please contact me. Thank you.

do you think monkfruit sweetener would work?

Sure!
Rebecca Jacobs says
Wonderful addition to my keto recipes! I love the chocolate cake also! Thank you Katie ☺️
Elizabeth says
I have my ice cream freezing now in ice cube trays. I snuck in a taste and it reminds me of chocolate pudding. I added 1/4 cup cocoa powder. I am so excited to eat this!
Gina says
Please explain how this is only 4.4g carbs. I want to make it, but when I calculate it in my app, it is way over that. Thanks
Laura C says
OMG. So good. I added some coconut and sf chocolate chips
kell says
Can you stevia?
Cia says
Hi guys! I was wondering how I can make this a chocolate ice cream? What do I add? And how much of it? I’m new to this😋
CCK Media Team says
Hi! Just use this recipe instead. To make it keto, use all canned coconut milk, and use your favorite keto sweetener 🙂 https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/vegan-chocolate-ice-cream/
Beth P says
I made this, but it came out super hard and frozen. Could it be because i used Allulose?
CCK Media Team says
Hi Beth, do you mean right out of the blender, or that leftovers the next day were hard? What method did you use to make it?
Beth P says
I put it in an ice cream maker. The day I made it it was soupy. So after it 24hrs in the freezer it was rock hard. Did I do it completely wrong?
Malcolm Pottery says
this is the best ice cream recipe ever tastes like real ice cream thank you very much
Millie says
That looks JUST like real ice cream! 🍦 Wow!
Georgianna Trout says
I beget to utter Yes
Marge says
This is the best keto ice cream recipe I’ve tried so far. Last week I made one with heavy cream and it just wasn’t creamy. I also saw one with condensed milk and artificial thickeners. This one is so easy and very creamy. Five star recipe for sure!
Abby says
I’m wondering… the recipe shows 2 cans of coconut milk. However, the video shows 1 can of coconut milk and 1 cup of coconut milk from a carton. I followed the video recipe and it’s running in my ice cream freezer now. It’s been there for close to an hour and is showing almost no sign of freezing.
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Hi! Either way works 🙂
Was your ice cream machine fully frozen before you started? I definitely made the mistake once of not using a pre chilled machine
Stephanie says
This recipe looks awesome. When using canned coconut milk does it need to be refrigerated or straight from my pantry?
CCK Media Team says
Refrigerated is best because it will turn to ice cream faster 🙂
LindaN says
Does this taste like coconut?
If so, do you think 1 cup each of almond milk and heavy whipping cream would work as a substitute?
CCK Media Team says
It shouldn’t taste much like coconut because coconut milk is a neutral flavor (especially if you’re making flavored ice cream like chocolate or mint chocolate chip) but you could always use this coconut free ice cream recipe instead! https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/almond-milk-ice-cream-recipe/
JT says
What is the size of the coconut milk can in mL ? Also, if using coconut cream (instead of milk), then do I use just the cream part that sits on top of the can? Or do I use the liquid part as well?
Keto newbie says
Made this keto ice cream for Thanksgiving dessert and it was perfectly delicious with keto pumpkin pie!
Mave says
Delicious! This is the creamiest keto ice cream I’ve tried from a recipe. It almost rivals storebought without the high price!
Mel says
Hi there!
What’s the serving size? Also, is it 184 calories per serving or for the entire recipe?
Katie says
This ice cream is the best!! It’s so creamy and indulgent! I’ve tried the strawberry and chocolate versions & I love them both, but how would you tweak it to make lemon ice cream? Thank you 😊 💓
CCK Media Team says
Hmm, that sounds delicious! Try adding fresh lemon zest to taste to the vanilla version.
Suzanne Lanoue says
I love this recipe! Thank you for making it!! I use it all the time. I have to eat gluten-free, dairy-free and low-carb (diabetic), and I really miss ice cream. My husband eats more low-fat, so this week I made your recipe with Silk half-and-half (it’s made from coconut and oat milk). It came out great! I also subbed Equal (my preferred sweetener) for the xylitol and added in decaf coffee granules and cocoa powder. It made half as much as the usual recipe (I guess because there’s not as much cream to get whipped up?), so I’m going to make it again, for sure, as it’s delicious.

wow tasty delicious keto ice cream and also thanks for the ingredients and the process!

Kim says
First of all I would like to say that this recipe is not only simple but simply delicious!
Thank you so much for sharing it with us!
As well I’m a Type 1 Diabetic (who was misdiagnosed as a Type 2 Diabetic for 15 years) and by following a moderate Keto diet I have lowered my blood sugar levels, my dosage of insulins (I’m on two different ones) and lowered my HAC1 from 12 to 6.7 in six months.
The Diabetic Dietitian told me that she has never had a patient lower their AC1 so quickly in such a short period of time.
I just want to add that while Keto isn’t (necessary) for everyone it can literally be a lifesaver for others.
Just as another reviewer mentioned Keto and Ketoacidosis are two entirely different things.
I should know because I’ve had Ketoacidosis due to being given a med that Type 1 Diabetics shouldn’t be given caused it.
