Tips on How to Make the Tastiest Keto Ice Cream Sandwiches

Have you ever tried making keto ice cream and ended up with a hard block of ice instead of a smooth and creamy texture?

I get it, that happens a lot with keto and no-sugar-added ice cream recipes. But this one is different. The texture of these no-sugar-added Ice Cream Sandwiches is so soft and delicious, that you wouldn’t believe it’s a low-carb ice cream.

The reason why most keto ice creams turn out like ice blocks is that regular sugar has properties that most sweeteners (natural sugar alternatives) don’t have.

The Secret Ingredients For Low Carb Ice Cream

The first one is the sweetener Xylitol.

In short, Xylitol is categorized as sugar alcohols. Alcohol, in general, prevents any liquids from freezing. So, instead of using another sweetener and alcohol, I chose to use Xylitol. Don’t worry, it’s sugar alcohol but NOT alcohol, so it’s safe for children.

Another keto-friendly sweetener, that has similar properties, is Allulose. Here, in the UK, it’s very expensive and hard to find. However, it’s easily available in the US and Canada.

The second secret ingredient is Xanthan Gum.

Xanthan gum is a magic ingredient used to emulsify and thicken dressings and bind together gluten-free flours. It was first developed in the 1950s — grown from fermented plant bacteria— and has wide commercial use and is a key ingredient in molecular cooking and gluten-free cooking.

You can read more about xanthan gum HERE or buy Xanthan Gum from HERE.

In our keto ice cream recipe, xanthan gum helps to make the texture smooth and creamy. It holds the ingredients together and prevents them from freezing and forming the ice block like some other low-carb recipes.

​Instructions

Keto Ice Cream Cookie Layer

In a bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, and salt. 

Mix well until combined, making sure there are no lumps. 

Add the melted peanut butter to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. You may need to do it by hand. 

Divide the dough into 12 equal parts (6 for the top layer and 6 for the bottom layer). 

Place 6 dough parts into 6 muffin pans or any pans you have. 

Freeze for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the ice cream layer. 

Keto Peanut Butter Ice Cream Layer

Place in a food processor the heavy cream, xylitol, vanilla extract, xanthan gum and salt and mix well until thick but still soft consistency. 

Add the peanut butter to the cream mixture and mix until fully combined. 

Pour the ice cream mixture over the cookie dough layer (6 equal parts). 

Place the remaining 6 dough parts on top of the ice cream mixture. 

Freeze for a minimum of 2 hours, ideally overnight. Please check the detailed description below for tips and more in-depth steps.

Best Tips to Make Keto Ice Cream Sandwiches

Tip 1: As explained above, don’t skip the two secret ingredients to make delicious keto ice cream sandwiches.

Tip 2: When you are freezing the cookie dough and the sandwiches, in the end, make sure you wrap them tightly with plastic wrap or you place them in an airtight container. The moisture from the freezer may cause the formation of ice crystals.

Tip 3: NET CARBS: I made 6 sandwiches as I didn’t have smaller muffin pans at the time. You can use smaller muffin pans and make 12 keto sandwiches. That will help to reduce the size and the net carbs per sandwich.

These ice cream sandwiches are easy to make, creamy, and delicious. They have only 8g of net carbs per serving and are made with natural ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the secret ingredients that make this keto ice cream sandwich recipe so creamy and scoopable?

Q: What kind of chocolate and peanut butter should I use for this recipe?

A: You should use unsweetened dark chocolate or sugar-free chocolate chips for the cookie base, and natural peanut butter with no added sugar for the ice cream filling. You can also use other nut butters or flavors if you prefer.

Q: How can I make this recipe dairy-free or vegan?

A: You can make this recipe dairy-free or vegan by using coconut cream instead of heavy cream.

Q: How many net carbs are in one keto ice cream sandwich?

A: One keto ice cream sandwich has about 8g of net carbs, depending on the size and the ingredients you use. You can reduce the net carbs by making smaller sandwiches or using less ice cream. 

Q: How long can I store these keto ice cream sandwiches in the freezer?

Q: What are the benefits of using egg yolks and coconut oil in keto ice cream? 

A: Egg yolks and coconut oil are both sources of healthy fats that help make keto ice cream creamy and rich. They also help prevent the ice cream from freezing too hard and improve the texture and flavor. Egg yolks also add protein and nutrients, while coconut oil has medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that can boost ketosis and metabolism.

Q: How do I choose the best keto sweeteners for my ice cream? 

A: There are many keto-friendly sweeteners that you can use to make your ice cream sweet without adding carbs or sugar. Some of the most popular ones are erythritol, monk fruit, stevia, and allulose. They have different tastes, sweetness levels, and effects on blood sugar, so you may want to experiment with different combinations and amounts to find your preference. You can also check the nutrition facts label to see the net carbs and calories of each sweetener.
