Chocolate Avocado Ice Cream (Keto)
Description
This Chocolate Avocado Ice Cream recipe uses ripe avocados blended with cacao powder, heavy cream, and canned coconut milk to build a rich, creamy base. The blending process fully purées the avocado, removing any green chunks and ensuring a smooth texture similar to traditional ice cream. Allulose or another powdered sweetener provides the required sweetness while helping maintain a creamy consistency that freezes well.
The flavor is subtly chocolatey with a hint of avocado earthiness, balanced by the dairy and coconut components. Cocoa nibs or sugar-free chocolate chips can be stirred in before freezing for added texture and chocolate pieces.
Freezing for 4-6 hours sets the ice cream solidly, and letting it defrost 20 minutes before scooping makes it easier to serve. It keeps well in the freezer for up to 3 months. The recipe yields about five ½-cup servings with roughly 5 grams net carbs per serving, ideal for those following ketogenic guidelines.
Ingredients
- 2 avocado ripe and stoned, 300g avocado flesh
- ½ cup cacao powder 45g

Notes
- Freeze the ice cream for at least 4-6 hours to fully set before serving.
- Let frozen ice cream defrost about 20 minutes before scooping for best texture.
- Allulose sweetener produces the creamiest texture; other sweeteners may freeze harder.
- This recipe yields 5 servings of ½ cup each, with approximately 5g net carbs per serving.
