KETO CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM
This keto-friendly chocolate ice cream delivers! The egg yolk-based custard is the key to its full-bodied creaminess, while good-quality cocoa powder insures a rich chocolate flavor. We tested various keto-approved sugar substitutes and found some to be gritty or simply too sweet. Stevia adds just the right amount of sweetness without changing the texture. Take care not to over-churn, to avoid graininess.

Steps:
- Add the heavy cream and cocoa powder to a medium saucepan and whisk until the cocoa is fully incorporated. Set over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.
- Whisk together the stevia, vanilla, salt and egg yolks in a large bowl until lightened in color, about 1 minute. Slowly drizzle in 1 cup of the hot cream mixture, whisking, then pour the mixture back into the saucepan and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring continuously with a rubber spatula, until the mixture thickens, coats the back of a spoon and reaches 180 degrees F on a thermometer, about 6 minutes.
- Transfer the custard to a large bowl and stir continuously until the mixture cools to room temperature. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill until cold, about 3 hours. (For faster chilling, set the bowl in a larger bowl of ice water and stir until cold.)
- Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a freezer-safe resealable container and freeze until set, at least 1 hour.
NO-CHURN KETO ICE CREAM
Quick to make and no ice cream machine needed! After trying different variations of ingredients, I finally figured out a combination that produced a smooth and creamy texture, yet didn't freeze rock-hard like most no-churn ice cream can. The vodka is optional, however it really helps keep the ice cream scoopable and you don't taste it!

- Pay attention to the texture: Keto ice cream can sometimes be icy or grainy. To avoid this, make sure to churn the ice cream until it is thick and creamy. You can also add a small amount of guar gum or xanthan gum to help thicken the ice cream.
- Don't oversweeten the ice cream: Keto ice cream is naturally sweet, so it's important to not overdo it with the sweetener. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Store the ice cream properly: Keto ice cream should be stored in an airtight container in the freezer. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Keto ice cream is a delicious and refreshing treat that can be enjoyed on a ketogenic diet. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make your own keto ice cream at home.
