Equipment

Ice cream maker
Large mixing bowl
Whisk
Airtight container for freezing

Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream 16 fl oz / 473 ml
1 cup unsweetened almond milk 8 fl oz / 237 ml
¾ cup powdered erythritol 6 oz / 170 g
2 tbsp instant espresso powder 0.5 oz / 14 g
1 tsp pure vanilla extract 0.17 fl oz / 5 ml
½ tsp xanthan gum 0.14 oz / 4 g
½ cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips 3 oz / 85 g

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, almond milk, powdered erythritol, and instant espresso powder until the erythritol is dissolved, and the mixture is well combined.
Add the vanilla extract and whisk again for even distribution.
Sprinkle xanthan gum over the mixture, whisking constantly to prevent clumping. The xanthan gum will help thicken the ice cream and improve its texture.
Stir in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the ice cream mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Once churned, the ice cream will have a soft-serve consistency. For a firmer texture, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.

Notes

If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow dish, stirring every 30 minutes until the desired consistency is reached.

The espresso powder can be adjusted to taste, depending on how strong you like your coffee flavor.

To ensure this recipe is fully keto-friendly, be sure to use a sugar-free dark chocolate that uses a keto-approved sweetener.
