Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Only 3–4g net carbs per serving
  • Super creamy texture that rivals premium ice cream
  • No ice cream maker required (no-churn option included)
  • Rich dark chocolate flavor without the sugar spike
  • Customizable — add peanut butter, nuts, or sugar-free chips

Ingredients (makes about 6–8 servings)

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or more heavy cream for extra richness)
  • ½ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (adjust to taste)
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed for deeper flavor)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened) — optional but makes it extra creamy
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp xanthan gum (optional, for better scoopability)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional mix-ins: sugar-free chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, or a swirl of sugar-free peanut butter

Instructions (No-Churn Version)

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese (if using) with the sweetener and cocoa powder until smooth.
  2. Add vanilla extract, salt, and almond milk. Mix until fully combined.
  3. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until no streaks remain.
  5. Stir in any mix-ins if desired.
  6. Pour into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly on the surface.
  7. Freeze for at least 4–6 hours (ideally overnight) until firm.
  8. Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping for the best texture.

With Ice Cream Maker: Chill the mixture for 1–2 hours first, then churn according to your machine’s instructions.

Storage Tips

Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. For easier scooping, move to the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before serving.
