This Keto Frosty is a delicious no-churn chocolate ice cream that can be ready to enjoy in 30 minutes! It’s made with only 3 ingredients: heavy cream, powdered monk fruit sweetener, and cocoa powder. The best part? No fancy ice cream maker required!

I am sharing this recipe post in partnership with Lakanto.

If you’ve wondered whether Frosty’s have a lot of sugar, they do. A medium Wendy’s Frosty contains ~65 grams of sugar (and over 70 grams of carbs).

This one, however, is made with powdered monk fruit sweetener, is sugar-free, and contains only 5.1 grams of net carbs per serving.

The consistency is smooth and creamy, and the flavor is perfectly sweet and chocolatey.

If you like frozen treats and are craving something sweet but don’t want added sugar, you’ll love this recipe!

🍴 Net carbs

This Keto Frosty contains 5.1 grams of net carbs per serving. The recipe, as written, yields 2 servings.

Net carbs are calculated by taking total carbs, subtracting fiber, and subtracting sugar alcohols.

The complete nutrition information for this recipe, including the calorie content, total carbs, protein, and fat per serving, can be found on the nutrition label below the recipe instructions.

👉 Ingredient substitution suggestions

  • Heavy Whipping Cream: For a lighter version, use half-and-half or whole milk instead of heavy whipping cream. Just keep in mind that the final product will likely not be as creamy as the original recipe intended.
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Carob powder can be subbed at a 1:1 ratio. You can also use cacao powder, but I would use only 1 Tablespoon as it has a stronger flavor the cocoa powder.

Remember that any ingredient changes you make to this recipe will modify the carb content.

✨ Variations

  • Add a little No-Sugar-Added SunButter, unsweetened peanut butter, or unsweetened almond butter for an added boost of protein.
  • Pour in a small amount of vanilla extract before mixing and freezing.
  • Sprinkle in a pinch of salt before mixing and freezing to really enhance the chocolate flavor of the ice cream.

〰️ How to serve

  • Serve in a cup, glass, or bowl with a spoon.
  • Serve this like soft serve ice cream in a keto ice cream cone.

💬 FAQs

Where can I buy monk fruit sweetener?

You can buy it online or, often, Lakanto’s powdered sweetener is carried at Costco and at health food stores. If you want to buy yours online, you can use code REALBALANCED for 15% OFF your order.

Do I need to use an electric hand mixer to make this frosty recipe?

No, a blender or an ice cream machine will work.

Do I have to use a storage baggie before I freeze the ice cream?

No, you can freeze the bowl of the ice cream mixture and scoop from there when serving. Or, you can transfer the mixture to a piping bag and pipe it into serving dishes once chilled. Personally, because we like to make this recipe so often, I use the same storage baggie each time and then wash it with soap and hot water to reuse it again later.

Can I make this chocolate frosty recipe ahead of time?

Yes, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it as the ice cream will begin to form ice crystals resulting in the texture changing. If you do want to make this in advance, you can store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks then, when you are ready to eat, let it thaw on the counter for about 15-20 minutes before serving.

Description

This Keto Frosty is a delicious no-churn chocolate ice cream that can be ready to enjoy in 30 minutes! It’s made with only 3 ingredients: heavy cream, powdered monk fruit sweetener, and cocoa powder. The best part? No fancy ice cream maker required!


Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240mL) heavy whipping cream
  • 3 Tablespoons (22g) powdered monk fruit sweetener
  • 2 Tablespoons (10g) unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, starting on the lowest speed and gradually increasing speed, mix together heavy cream, powdered monk fruit sweetener, and cocoa powder until stiff peaks form.
  2. Using a rubber spatula, transfer mixture into a storage baggie then transfer the baggie to the freezer to chill until just frozen, about 25 minutes, depending on the temperature of your freezer. (If you don’t want to freeze in a storage baggie, see note below.)
  3. Cut off the corner of the storage baggie and pipe into glasses or bowls before serving.

Recipe Notes:

Other Ways To Mix The Ice Cream: You don’t need to use a hand mixer. A blender or an ice cream machine will work.

Alternative To Using A Storage Baggie: If you don’t have a storage baggie, you can freeze the bowl of the ice cream mixture and scoop from there when serving, or transfer the mixture to a piping bag and pipe it into serving dishes once chilled. Personally, because we like to make this recipe so often, I use the same storage baggie each time and then wash it with soap and hot water to reuse again later.

    Where is the fiber coming from in this recipe?

      Good question! The nutrition label tool that I use doesn’t offer a space for sugar alcohols, so the sugar alcohols are listed under fiber.

    Add a pinch of sea salt! Yum. For those of use that grew up on ice milk…use 1/2 cream and half water plus salt. Nice crunch when frozen 😋
