Homemade Sugar Free Chocolate Ice Cream

 
This is a perfect cold chocolate dessert or treat that has no added sugar in it.

This is the time of the year that we enjoy this recipe even more!
 

This recipe does remind me of my Sugar Free Chocolate Banana Ice Cream recipe.

That recipe for chocolate ice cream is a really simple recipe that is more like hack when compared to to this recipe (still really good however!). This recipe for chocolate ice cream is more like the regular sugar-filled homemade chocolate ice cream because of the ingredients that are in it.

This recipe for homemade ice cream does not require an ice cream maker. You will need a freezer-safe container for ice cream which you can find here.

 

This recipe is for anyone asking how do you make chocolate ice cream from scratch.

Even better, this recipe is for anyone who is asking how to make sugar free chocolate ice cream from scratch.
This recipe really does cover both making chocolate ice cream from scratch as well as sugar free ice cream.

You should know that this recipe is similar to a standard homemade chocolate ice cream recipes.

This recipe does contain some of the same ingredients or similar alternatives. However, sugar is not added to to this recipe.

 

The ingredients for this recipe differ somewhat than the regular recipe for homemade chocolate ice cream.

We will be using evaporated milk because evaporated milk does not contain sugar. However, we will need to add some kind of a sugar alternative to this instead of sugar in order to sweeten this ice cream.

We will also be using a heavy whipping cream.
While heavy whipping cream does not have added sugar to it, it is not a perfect product for everyone to eat. As a result, you can sub in a 50/50 mix of Greek Yogurt and milk. However, keep in mind that it is the ‘fat’ in heavy whipping cream that makes the ice cream the delicacy that it is.

 

Here are some tips for making ice cream.

I just mentioned that we are using evaporated milk in this recipe. There is some natural sugar in evaporated milk and an alternative such as half and half can be used instead (more low-carb friendly!).

Here are some more helpful tips for you!

1. Add some flavor to this recipe by adding a bit of extract (1-2 tsp). I like a banana extract or mint extract with this recipe.
2. Feel free to add some goodies to this ice cream. I am referring to chopped nuts, sugar free chocolate chips, or even chopped up sugar free candy! Adding additional goodies works best stirring them in after the other ingredients have been allowed to set.
3. If you are seeking a richer chocolate flavor, try using a Dutch-process cocoa powder.

 

This recipe can easily be enhanced in an ice cream maker.

I suggest allowing the ice cream to set in the freezer for about a half hour first.
Also, follow the instructions on your ice cream maker for best results.

You will need a stand mixer with a whisk attachment for best success with this.

• In a small mixing bowl, use a whisk or a fork to mix together the sugar substitute and unsweetened cocoa. Set this aside.
• Next, in a large mixing bowl, blend together the evaporated milk and whipping cream.
• When the evaporated milk and whipping cream are blended together you can add the contents from the first bowl (cocoa and sugar alternative) along with the vanilla extract to the large mixing bowl.
• Set the mixer on low for 15 seconds and then increase it to high. Whip the ingredients until a peak forms- about 4-5 minutes.

• Freeze overnight or for about eight hours prior to serving. Alternatively, you can freeze for about thirty minutes and then transfer it to an ice cream maker, following the manufacturers directions from there.
