🍨 Ingredients for this keto peanut butter ice cream recipe

Our version of the keto ice cream recipe needs only five simple ingredients:

  • 1 cup coconut cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated monk fruit sweetener
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon dark chocolate, chopped (optional)
Ingredients made ready on the kitchen table for keto ice cream recipe.

Ingredient substitutions

  • Monk fruit sweetener: If you can not find this in your local store, replace it with other low-carb sweeteners like stevia or erythritol. Both alternatives are keto-friendly.
  • Dark chocolate: Replace dark chocolate with cacao nibs or sugar-free chocolate chips for a rich chocolatey taste.
  • Vanilla extract: If you’re in the mood for a different flavor, swap vanilla extract with almond extract.
  • Coconut cream: If you find yourself in a pinch, you can use full-fat canned coconut milk as a substitute for cream. Avoid using carton coconut milk as it has a lower fat content and higher water content, which can affect the texture and richness of the ice cream.

Additional ingredients

Go ahead and get creative with your toppings. Here are our keto-friendly suggestions:

  • Chopped nuts: Chop nuts like almonds, pecans, or walnuts and fold them into the ice cream mixture before freezing.
  • Unsweetened shredded coconut: Sprinkle shredded coconut on top of your serving for an extra crunch.
  • Sugar-free caramel sauce: Drizzle sugar-free caramel sauce on top of your ice cream for a decadent treat.
  • Berries: Add a small handful of raspberries or blackberries to your ice cream as a garnish. They add vibrant color and extra flavor.
  • Cacao powder: For a rich chocolate flavor, stir a spoonful of cacao powder into your ice cream mixture before freezing.

How to make Keto Peanut Butter Ice Cream: step-by-step guide

Preparation method

  • Churning
  • Freezing

Instruction steps

Using an ice cream machine

  1. Combine the coconut cream, sugar-free peanut butter, vanilla extract, and monk fruit sweetener in a blender. Whizz it all up until it’s smooth and thoroughly combined.
  2. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker. Add the chopped dark chocolate, and churn the mixture for 8-10 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  3. Transfer the creamy blend to a freezer-safe container and flatten it with a silicone spatula.
  4. Freeze for about an hour. Once the ice cream is firm, scoop it into bowls and serve immediately.

If you don’t have an ice cream machine at home, don’t worry, we have an alternative for you!

Alternatively, without an ice cream maker/machine

  1. Prepare the ice cream mixture by blending all the ingredients.
  2. Then, instead of placing the mixture in an ice maker, transfer it into a freezer-safe container.
  3. Allow the container to chill in the freezer for one hour.
  4. After an hour, remove the container from the freezer and use an immersion blender or a food processor to beat the mixture for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Once beaten, flatten the mix with a silicone spatula and place it back in the freezer. Repeat this process after another hour.
  6. Typically, two repetitions are sufficient to achieve the desired consistency. However, if it does not meet your expectations, repeat the freezing process.
  7. After approximately 2 hours of freezing, you can scoop the ice cream into serving bowls and serve.
