Low Carb Mint Chocolate Gelato

/

This gelato recipe is at the top of my favorite Keto approved desserts. When you compare gelato vs ice cream you'll see that gelato is a little more creamy and has a softer consistency than ice cream recipes.

Mint chocolate gelato is the perfect low carb dessert to add to any keto meal plan.

Keto Friendly Sweetener

For this recipe, I used Lakanto MonkFruit Sweetener, which tastes like sugar, but has zero net carbs, zero calories, and is a zero glycemic sweetener. Lakanto is a mix of monk fruit and erythritol that is Keto, Paleo, Vegan, NON-GMO, and All Natural

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Put a glass Tupperware container in the freezer, this will be used later to store your gelato!
  2. Bring the heavy cream to a boil
  3. Stir in sweetener until fully dissolved
  4. Add cocoa powder and mix thoroughly until there are no clumps and reduce to a simmer
  5. Once mixture has thickened enough to coat your spatula remove from heat and let cool
  6. Separate egg yolks and whisk in the vanilla and peppermint extract
  7. Add a small amount of the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture whisking continuously (if you add the hot chocolate mixture to the egg mixture too quickly it might start cooking the eggs, which would be gross in your gelato)
  8. Add the remaining chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and mix well
  9. Grab your glass container from the freezer and transfer mixture into the container. Place in the fridge for 4 hours or until desired consistency. I left mine in the fridge overnight and the next day it was perfect. I did put it in the freezer at that point, but for me it was hard. So try it in the fridge first and then if you want it a little more firm try the freezer.
