Ninja Creami Keto Dark Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream
Ingredients
1 cup heavy cream 🥛
1 cup unsweetened almond milk 🥥
1/2 cup powdered erythritol 🍬
1/2 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder 🍫
1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries 🍇
1 tsp vanilla extract 🌿
A pinch of salt 🧂
1/2 tsp xanthan gum (optional, for a creamier texture) 🌾
Directions
- Mix the base: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and unsweetened almond milk until well blended.
- Sweeten it up: Add the powdered erythritol to the bowl and whisk until fully dissolved, creating a smooth, sweet mixture.
- Add the chocolate: Sift in the unsweetened dark cocoa powder to avoid lumps, then whisk until fully incorporated and the mixture is a rich, dark chocolate color.
- Enhance the flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. If using xanthan gum, sprinkle it in and whisk thoroughly to prevent clumping.
- Prepare the raspberries: If using fresh raspberries, mash them lightly with a fork. If using frozen, let them thaw slightly and then mash.
- Combine and chill: Stir the mashed raspberries into the chocolate mixture until evenly distributed. Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, making sure not to fill past the max fill line. Seal the container with its lid.
- Freeze: Place the container in the freezer for at least 24 hours to allow the mixture to solidify completely.
- Process: Once frozen, remove the pint from the freezer and take off the lid. Insert the container into the Ninja Creami machine and process according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically using the “Ice Cream” setting.
- Serve: Scoop the creamy, keto dark chocolate raspberry ice cream into bowls or cones. Enjoy immediately!

The Luxury of Dark Chocolate 🍫
Dark chocolate is not only rich and satisfying but also packed with antioxidants. It provides a deep, intense flavor that pairs wonderfully with the tartness of raspberries. Choosing a high-quality, unsweetened dark cocoa powder ensures that your ice cream remains low in carbs while delivering maximum flavor.
Tips for Perfect Keto Ice Cream 🍦
- Sweetener Substitution: You can use other keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit sweetener or stevia if preferred. Adjust the amount to suit your taste.
- Texture Tips: Adding a tablespoon of MCT oil or avocado oil to the mixture before freezing can help achieve an even creamier texture.
- Storage: Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. If it becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
