How I Discovered This Recipe
I love ice cream, but I don’t love the sugar, carbs and calories that come with it. I also follow a low-carb keto diet (more like a lifestyle now), which means most store-bought ice creams are off-limits for me. So I’m always experimenting with ice cream recipes so I can make my own homemade chocolate ice cream, using healthier ingredients that fit my macros.
I tested several different Ninja Creami ice cream recipes, and some of them did NOT work at all, while others were just okay. I chose this recipe as the best one because it tastes just like traditional ice cream.
Read below for my tips on achieving the best results.

If you want to make a no-churn ice cream, mix all ingredients (add 1/4 teaspoon of guar gum to achieve a creamy texture) and pour into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for 2-3 hours. Let the sugar-free ice cream stand on your counter for 10-15 minutes before consumption.
Tips for Best Results
Do not overmix the cream in the blender as it can split. This will make the ice cream texture grainy.
Do not overfill the Ninja Creami container. Leave a little bit of a gap.
If after the first spin the ice cream is powdery, use the re-spin program. Do not use the Light Ice Cream program again. Keep re-spinning (2-3 times) until you are happy with the consistency.
If after a couple of re-spins the ice cream is still powdery, add a tablespoon of almond milk. Do not be tempted to add any other liquid as it can cause the ice cream to become grainy.
I tried different amounts of milk and cream, and this (1:1) ratio seems to be the perfect texture. You can experiment yourself.
This Simple Ninja Creami Keto Chocolate Ice Cream is a game-changer for anyone on a low-carb or keto diet. It’s easy to make, delicious, and perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings. Give it a try and let me know how you like it!

So the nutrition panel is very deceiving. It lists the serving as one serving with the low numbers. I suggest you change it to 4 servings which would make more sense. The reason I made this recipe was because I thought the numbers were incredibly low for such a large serving but in reality that’s not true. On the plus side it does taste great
Hi James,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback!
I’ve gone ahead and made a few tweaks to the recipe card template. I think it looks much clearer now and should be easier to understand the nutritional values.
I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts—it helps me make things better for everyone! 😊
I have made this recipe as described above. When doing the math for a full pint which I assume is the 1 container serving you mention the calorie count comes to 700 and carbs 8g, not even close to the numbers your showing. How do you get the numbers so low
Hi James,
Yes, those numbers are very close to mine for the full container. I use an automated nutrition calculator built into my recipe software, which uses average values for ingredients from a standard database. So small differences can happen depending on the exact brands or products you use.
Here’s how the nutrition breaks down based on 4 servings:
Calories: Container: 668 kcal / Per serving: 166.9 kcal
Total Carbs: Container: 12g / Per serving: 3g
Fiber: Container: 4.4g / Per serving: 1.1g
Net Carbs: Container: 7.6g / Per serving: 1.9g
So yes – about 700 calories and just under 8g net carbs for the whole pint. Hope this helps clear it up! 😊
