Life is all about balance, and we firmly believe ice cream should be a part of it. Packed with creamy minty goodness, Mealplan Nutrition Expert Michelle Lewin’s dairy-free, Keto Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream is the perfect dessert for those sweet cravings.
While traditional ice cream contains loads of cream and sugar, this recipe takes a healthier, plant-based route with potassium-rich coconut milk, heart-healthy avocado, vanilla extract and liquid stevia. Mint leaves not only infuse this recipe with fresh, energizing flavor, but also support the digestive system.
What makes this recipe keto? In general, following a keto diet means 5% or less of your daily calorie intake should come from carbs. Each serving of this Keto Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream contains just eight grams of carbs and three grams of sugar, along with 38 grams of fat. A total win for low-carb and keto dieters.
This recipe makes four servings and only takes four steps —a perfect, quick dessert for the fam. Pro tip: freeze the coconut milk overnight and refrigerate the avocado so you can enjoy this ice cream immediately. Otherwise, you’ll need to freeze it for about an hour prior to eating.
