Back when we lived in Boston, Erik and I started the keto diet. And by start, I mean we stopped, then started, then stopped again because we didn’t think it was realistic. Then we started again because we-weren’t-quitters-gosh-dang-it!!
And let me tell you (as if you didn’t already know this), one of the hardest things to give up was ice cream.It washardfriggin’ impossible to find yummy keto 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.
So what do we have today? A chocolate keto ice cream recipe to end all chocolate keto ice cream recipes (but in a less dire-sounding way). This homemade keto ice cream is soooo good.

Simple Keto Ingredients & Tools for the Best Keto Ice Cream Recipe
Coconut Milk
Unsweetened, full-fat coconut milk is one of my favorite keto ingredients to use when making homemade keto ice cream. It’s low carb, high fat and low in sugar. I use coconut milk to add creaminess to today’s chocolate keto ice cream as well as my coconut milk ice creamrecipe.
Coconut Cream
Coconut cream is a wonderful keto-friendly ingredient because it’s low carb and provide a rich source of healthy fat. [1]
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.
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.
Rich ‘n creamy chocolate keto ice cream with deep chocolate flavor & velvety sweetness throughout. Just 1 net carb per serving.
