Does that ice cream look super delicious or what? And guess what? It’s every bit as creamy and delicious as you’d imagine. And it’s super low in carbs, so it’s perfect if you have diabetes (like me) or are following a keto (low-carb) diet.
I was craving chocolate ice, and something cold sounded good on this hot summer day, so I decided to try a healthy ice cream recipe, and I was thrilled at the results. I blended all the ingredients in my blender and then poured them into my ice cream maker. And in about a half an hour, we had scrumptious, sugar-free, low-carb (guilt free!), icy chocolate ice cream.
I’m delighted that there are so many healthy ingredients available these days so that I can still have so many treats while eating in a way that is good for my body. And my kids ate this delectable treat and loved it as well.
So if you’re looking to reduce sugar and carbs in your diet but still have fun, delicious treat, give this a try. You’ll love it!
This recipe uses an ingredient that I’ve come to love called glucommanan. It is a thickener that is made from a konjac root, and while it is now easily found in grocery stores, I buy mine on Amazon.
- 12 oz unsweetened almond milk
- 2 teaspoons erythritol (I used the Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet, liquid stevia,Steviva or Splenda)
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ t glucommanan
- 1 t heavy cream
- 3 T cocoa powder
- Put the almond milk, sweetener, vanilla, and salt in a blender. Start blending, then add the glucommanan, and blend for twenty seconds,
- Pour mixture into an electric ice cream maker and follow the manufacturers directions. Mine takes thirty minutes to turn into ice cream.
- **This recipe is best right out of the ice cream maker. However, if you've got some left over, it freezes very hard! We scoop some out and give it a quick whiz in the blender with 1-2 tablespoons of almond milk or cream to get the creamy consistency again.
