Method

Tap a time to watch that step in the video.

  1. Weigh the keto chocolate chips, chop them into small pieces on a board and set aside. 0:40
  2. Set a wide-mouth mason jar (at least 500 ml) on the scale and pour in the heavy cream. 1:13
  3. Add the confectioners erythritol. If you'll keep the ice cream frozen for more than a day, use allulose instead so it stays soft. 1:32
  4. Add the peppermint extract, 3 drops of green food colouring if you like, and half the chopped chips. 2:41
  5. Screw on the lid and shake for a couple of minutes, until the cream thickens and nearly doubles. Add the rest of the chips and give it a short final shake. 3:07
  6. Freeze for about 5 hours, then scoop into bowls (3 scoops). 3:35

Tip. Green food colouring (about 3 drops) is optional. Allulose swaps 1:1 for the erythritol and keeps the ice cream scoopable for days, as the cook suggests.

Vitamin A High36%

322 µg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (100%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.

Omega-3 Source15%

0.2 g a serve, mostly from heavy cream (100%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.

Show the other 13
Vitamin B127%

0.2 µg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (100%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Vitamin E5%

0.8 mg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (100%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.

Calcium4%

53 mg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (97%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.

Selenium4%

2.4 µg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (100%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.

Potassium2%

80 mg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (88%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.

Iron2%

0.3 mg a serve, mostly from semi-sweet keto chocolate chips (77%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Magnesium2%

8.9 mg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (62%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.

Zinc2%

Vitamin D2%

0.5 µg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (100%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.

Vitamin K2%

2.5 µg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (100%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.

Vitamin C1%

0.5 mg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (100%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.

Folate1%

3.1 µg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (100%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.

Vitamin B61%

0 mg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (100%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.
