Ingredients and substitutions
Portion sizes are in the recipe card below.
- Heavy cream
- Almond milk. Unsweetened and unflavored almond milk to keep the carbs low.
- Erythritol. Use the granulated type. You can also use monk fruit if you prefer.
- Sugar-free dark chocolate. Chocolate chips work best for melting or do as we did here and break up a block into small chunks so that it melts through evenly.
Recipe tip: Add a scoop of MCT powder if you want a softer ice cream bar.
How to Make Keto Ice Cream Bars
Step 1. Heat
Place a saucepan over medium heat, and add the cream, almond milk, and erythritol. Whisk together and bring to a simmer.
Step 2. Melt chocolate
Add the chocolate to a heatproof bowl and pour the hot cream mixture over it. Allow to sit for a minute before mixing. Continue mixing until all the chocolate has melted and combined into the cream mixture.
Step 3. Pour into molds
Pour the mixture into silicone popsicle molds, place it on the lid, and put wooden popsicle sticks in the holes.
We bought the ice cream molds and popsicle sticks on Amazon. But a lot of two-dollar shops and catering suppliers have them.
Step 4. Freeze and serve
Freeze for at least 3 hours until frozen solid. Remove the ice cream bars from the molds. Enjoy your keto ice cream bar as they are, or drizzle them with melted sugar-free white chocolate for something.
Variations to this recipe
- Decorate. You can decorate your keto ice cream bars with melted sugar-free vanilla chocolate as we have (see pics).

- Swap chocolate. Try using sugar-free vanilla chocolate instead of dark chocolate (read the nutrition label for carb content.

We have nut allergies. Can we double up on the heavy cream instead of the almond milk?

Do i have to use the mct powder?
Hi Evelyn,
No, you don’t, but MCT powder helps the ice cream to stay soft. You can leave it out if you want, but your ice cream will freeze hard.
