Can You Have Ice Cream on Keto?
Anything that contains large amounts of sugar, like traditional ice cream, should be avoided when on Keto. With the sugar substitute, allulose, there is no reason not to enjoy a Keto Ice Cream version as a sweet treat on occasion.
Tips for The Best Keto No-Churn Ice Cream
This is such a fail proof Keto ice cream recipe, but here are just a few tips to ensure your coffee chip ice cream turns out perfect every time.
What Sweetener is Best in Sugar Free Ice Cream
Wholesome Yum's Besti Powdered Allulose is my absolute favorite allulose to use! It has perfect texture and far exceeds anything else I've ever tried. Use code: KCC10 to save 10%.
How Do I Keep No Churn Ice Cream from Freezing Too Hard?
This Keto Ice Cream does not freeze as hard as most Keto recipes, because it uses allulose and xanthan gum. These ingredients help it maintain a creamy texture while freezing without becoming super hard.
Can I Substitute Cream Cheese for the Mascarpone?
A lot of Keto desserts that use mascarpone will allow you to substitute cream cheese in its place. Because you want a really smooth texture and for the flavor of the coffee to take front and center, cream cheese is not recommended as a good substitute in this recipe.
What are Some Add-ins and Flavor Variations?
- Adding just a touch of unsweetened cocoa powder will give it extra chocolate flavor.
- If you love a caramel macchiato from your favorite coffee house, drizzle some of this homemade Keto Caramel Sauce over the top the of the low carb ice cream.
- For those die-hard chocolate lovers, you may want to try this sugar free Nutella Sauce with your ice cream! The flavors are amazing.
- Make a coffee chip ice cream trifle with these Chocolate Avocado Brownies. Just layer chunks of the brownie with the ice cream in a deep trifle or serving bowl. Your guest will love it!
What to Serve with Keto Coffee Ice Cream
The possibilities are endless! I love ice cream all by itself but if you're wanting a little more elaborate dessert without ruining your carb limits, give some of these ideas a try!

Hi Julianne
I tried your Coffee Chip recipe, and it ended up all curdled with lots of small lumps. I followed your recipe to the letter. The only think I did differently (by accident) was use heavy whipping cream instead of heavy cream. Is there a real difference between these creams. Please help I am very confused. I will try making this recipe again after reading the comments from experts like you.
I tasted the ice cream and it is like eating cold fat lumps. Please let me know where I went wrong. Love your recipes. I would love to order your recipe BOOKS if any are published.
Your ardent follower.

I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you faced with the ice cream. I have never had this issue and I make it all the time, but it seems like a few factors might have affected the outcome. First, substituting Heavy Whipping Cream for Heavy Cream generally shouldn't cause issues, as they are quite similar. However, the use of a blend containing stevia instead of pure allulose might have contributed to the texture problem. Stevia blends can sometimes crystallize or behave differently in frozen desserts.
Regarding the curdling issue, it's possible that the xanthan gum wasn't evenly dispersed or incorporated too quickly. It's best to sprinkle it evenly over the mixture and mix gently to avoid clumping. For your next attempt, I recommend ensuring the xanthan gum is added slowly and mixed thoroughly. You might also want to consider using pure allulose or another sweetener recommended in the original recipe to ensure the best texture. I hope this helps clarify things, and I'm sure your next batch will turn out beautifully!

Thank you so much for this recipe. I made it today exactly what the recipe called for except I didn't have dark chocolate so I used milk chocolate. It turned out great. My only complaint is that the mascarpone cheese is so hard to find and when I did find it it was sooo expensive. However, I got it anyway because I am worth it 🙂 I won't make this every week but at least once a month to satisfy my ice cream cravings.

The price of groceries has certainly gone up. Mascarpone is a little more expensive than cream cheese, but I always catch it when it goes on sale. I am so glad you enjoyed the ice cream though.

Was so excited to make this... I love coffee ice cream....and have missed having it.... I followed the directions exactly, but found the flavor bland. I even checked the recipe again (2 Tbs. instant coffee). I mixed 2 Tbs. heavy cream with two Tbs. of dry instant coffee, then let it set in the fridge for a few days, then incorporated with the thawed ice cream.... The flavor was quite powerful! When I make it again, I will probably just use 3 Tbs. of dry instant coffee.
Thank you for a wonderful "favorite"...

This recipe was written to have a really mild coffee flavor. You can always adjust the amount of coffee flavor to suit your personal tastes. I am so glad you made and look forward to hearing how you enjoy the changes you make next time you try it.

This is the absolute best! It’s easy to make and is delicious! I have to go ahead and put it in popsicle molds so that it is portioned out and I don’t eat the whole thing.
Keto Cooking Christian
YAY! I love hearing how much you like it. Popsicles are such a good idea.
Jenn Davis
Could I sub plain Greek yogurt for the mascarpone?
Keto Cooking Christian
I would try cream cheese if you can't get mascarpone. I have not tried yogurt, but you have to be careful of the water content and I think yogurt would have too much water to keep this ice cream nice and creamy.
