Keto Peppermint Mocha Ice Cream creates creamy, smooth ice cream. Make it with chocolate, coffee, and peppermint in one delicious scoop. Make the Mocha base with strong espresso and rich chocolate, while peppermint gives a festive, fresh touch that makes every mouthful seem decadent but light. This ice cream, which we make with heavy cream & almond milk, is velvety and smooth without the need for extra sugar. This keto Peppermint Mocha Ice Cream is sweet and keto-friendly because of Erythritol or Allulose, so you can indulge guilt-free while maintaining your low-carb diet.

INGREDIENT NOTES:
HEAVY CREAM:
- Heavy cream provides the thick base that gives the Creamy texture of this ice cream. It adds pleasant fat and thickness, making it a staple of the keto diet. You can substitute half with coconut cream for a lighter but no less decadent version.
KETO ALMOND MILK:
- Keto Almond Milk balances the richness of heavy cream, which also maintains the recipe’s low carbs. It increases the volume of liquid without adding calories. Coconut milk is an effective substitute for nuts.
ERYTHRITOL POWDER:
- Erythritol powder dissolves easily and keeps frozen desserts from having a gritty texture. It adds sweetness without increasing blood sugar. Blends of monk fruit or cellulose make great substitutes.
COCOA POWDER:
- Cocoa powder offers the rich chocolate taste that characterizes mocha. Using premium unsweetened cocoa has a discernible impact. Dutch-process cocoa provides the additional richness and smoothness.
ESPRESSO POWDER:
- Espresso powder gives a mild coffee kick and intensifies the chocolate flavor. It balances the sweetness as well. Almond milk can be slightly decreased, and we use it in place of strong brewed coffee.
PEPPERMINT EXTRACT:
- Peppermint extract adds a cool, refreshing touch that goes well with coffee and chocolate. Excessive amounts can overpower the other flavors.
VANILLA ESSENCE:
- Vanilla essence will enhance the chocolate & peppermint. It deepen the taste of the ice cream.
SALT:
- Salt balances the sweetness, and it also sharpens the flavors. Chocolate and peppermint taste brighter with even a tiny pinch. It keeps the sweet treat from tasting bland.
EGG:
- Egg yolks are optional, although they give ice cream a silky texture similar to custard. They assist in creating a softer scoop and add richness. Ignoring it will result in a somewhat lighter but still creamy ice cream.
