“If you are ambitious enough to own an ice-cream maker, this keto coconut ice cream is worth a try. I toast the desiccated coconut to add to the mixture before churning to make it even more coconutty. Get churning!” – Monya

This tropical treat blends the richness of coconut cream, toasted desiccated coconut and the natural sweetness of erythritol. The star ingredient of this recipe, coconut cream, is a keto-friendly dairy substitute. It offers a luxurious, creamy texture while remaining low in carbohydrates. Toasted desiccated coconut adds a delightful nutty flavour and satisfying crunch.
To maintain the keto integrity of this dessert, erythritol, a natural sugar substitute with minimal impact on blood sugar levels, provides the perfect touch of sweetness.
Aside from being incredibly delicious, this homemade keto coconut ice cream offers several advantages to those following the ketogenic diet. It provides a generous dose of healthy fats, aiding in the maintenance of ketosis. Moreover, the medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) found in coconut cream are known to boost metabolism and promote fat loss, aligning perfectly with the diet’s principles.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

can u make this without an ice cream maker?
Hi Sue, ice cream churners ensure a smooth, creamy frozen mixture, whereas freezing it ‘as is’ will result in larger ice crystals forming, and therefore not a very nice mouthfeel. xxx
