I love ice cream and I can’t believe it took me this long to make HOMEMADE DAIRY FREE KETO ICE CREAM.
I have a hard time with store-bought ice cream for two reasons. There are either low carb dairy-based ice creams or dairy free sugar full ice creams. Also, most of the dairy-free ice creams are really icy and/or contain a bunch of fillers or gums which don’t jive with me.
No Machine Needed
Oh yeah, I also don’t have an ice cream machine. Between the pressure cooker, blender, food processor and mixer… my husband has me at my kitchen appliance max! Also, I feel like if I buy one I would make ice cream WAY too often. Just being honest.
Anywho… this recipe is amazing. It’s like a dairy, sugar-free, nut free frozen custard. Blended up to thick, creamy perfection, then frozen to keto ice cream bliss. Easy peasy.
Ingredients
Eggs and egg yolks, hemp hearts, coconut milk, and cacao powder. Sweetener of choice.
The chocolate swirl is simple. Melt ¼ cup of your favorite dark chocolate. I recommend using this homemade keto chocolate for the swirl. It’s what I did, and yum!
Variations
Omit the hemp hearts or use cashews instead. You could also switch the coconut milk out for cashew cream, recipe HERE.
However, I think this nut free, the coconut-hemp-egg mix was SPOT on! Even my Ben and Jerry’s loving husband loved it!
MUY IMPORTANTE
Once you pop this dairy-free keto ice cream in the freezer you can wait as little as one hour to enjoy. I think two hours is the perfect time.
Once it has been frozen overnight you will NEED to set it out to thaw for 30 minutes before eating. If you try to eat it straight out of the freezer it will be hard AF. Once it thaws, it will be creamy, this ice cream doesn’t melt to liquid because of the emulsified egg. Science.
Okay. Now go forth and enjoy LOW CARB, DAIRY FREE, SUGAR-FREE ICE CREAM!

I’m getting off of dairy so am looking for a dairy free ice cream recipe. I’ve been making a very simple ice cream recipe with heavy cream, vanilla and I use allulose. Right before I would put it in the freezer, I would add 3 tbsps of vodka so that it was scoopable without having to set it out for 30 minutes. Question 1: Would that same trick work with this recipe?
Also, I like vanilla ice cream with sugar free chocolate sauce. Question 2: Would this recipe work without the chocolate?
Cristina says
I don’t know if the vokda trick will work as I’ve never tried it. Yes, you can make it without chocolate, but I would add more vanilla extract so you don’t taste the egg.
Eva Love says
I have vanilla beans so I could add one or two of them plus some vanilla extract.
Laurie King says
Would the recipe work if you left the erythritol out?
Cristina says
I think so
Mercy says
That’s a whole lot of uncooked eggs..! Got any tips for avoiding the typical food safety concerns? Or do you know need to worry as much because the freezing replaces the cooking?
Cristina says
Eggs in this country as pasteurized, I have no issue consuming them raw
Carol says
Hey… this sounds great! Quick question… to you melt the coconut oil and then let it cool a bit?? ty! Gonna make this soon… 🙂
Cristina says
No, I don’t melt it, but I live in HOT climates so my coconut oil stays pretty soft. You can run it under warm water to soften before adding in.
