    Ice cream is one of my favorite desserts, and luckily, it is one of the easiest that I have found to make keto-friendly.

    My vanilla ice cream is literally the best vanilla I have ever had. My keto chocolate ice cream is a sure-fire fix for any chocolate craving.

    My latest obsession is this Keto Coffee Ice Cream. It has all the flavors and coolness of my favorite iced coffee in a delicious and refreshing low-carb ice cream.

    This is one I could go on and on about. Give it a try, and I think you will love it too.

    Ingredients for Making Coffee Keto Ice Cream Recipe

    • Heavy Cream:  This gives an unbelievable richness to the ice cream. If you are dairy-free, you may full-fat canned coconut milk.
    • Sweetener:  I used part Swerve and part Allulose for the best texture in this sugar-free coffee ice cream. Swerve alone yields an ice cream that has to be left out for a bit before it can be scooped, whereas Allulose makes very soft ice cream. The combination of the two is perfect!
    • Coffee Beans:  I used decaffeinated so that I could enjoy this at night!
    • Salt:  Fine sea salt brings out the sweetness in the ice cream.
    • Vanilla Extract:  Use the best quality you can.

    Serving Suggestions

    This keto coffee ice cream maker recipe is delicious as it is, but if you like, here are some topping ideas:

    • Fresh berries
    • Whipped Cream
    • Keto-friendly chocolate sauce
    • Chopped Pecans (or go all out and make these Keto Candied Pecans)

    Frequently Asked Questions 

    Do I need xanthan gum to make keto ice cream?


    You can use it if you want firmer ice cream, but it isn't necessary. I have made this with and without. If you're going to use it, I recommend ¼ teaspoon.

    Can I substitute the sweeteners?


    You can, but understand that the sweetener that you use is going to impact the texture. If you use all Swerve or monk fruit, your ice cream will be rock hard, and you will need to remove it from the freezer and let it temper before serving.  

    Alternatively, if you use too much allulose, it will never quite firm up. (Perfect if you love soft serve!)

    A blend of the two types of sweeteners gives this coffee ice cream recipe the perfect texture.

    How do you calculate the net carb amount?


    I do not calculate the carbs in sugar alcohols or other low-carb keto sweeteners that do not impact blood sugar levels.

    Can I make this with Instant Coffee?


    I love the richness of flavors from steeping coffee beans, but if you would like to use instant coffee, add two tablespoons to the warm cream mixture.

    Can I make this without an ice cream maker?


    I haven't tried it, but I would imagine that you could. To do this, freeze the cream mixture overnight in a freezer-safe zip-top baggie. Pulse in your food processor until it is creamy.
