Keto Mason Jar Ice Cream – Chocolate or Strawberry
Making your own keto ice cream is as easy as 1 2 3. All you need is a mason jar, heavy cream, and sweetener! This keto mason jar ice cream will be fun for the whole family.

So creamy and delicious, you can make any flavor of this ice cream you want! I have strawberry and chocolate featured here because they are my favorite!
The trick to super creamy ice cream is heavy cream, of course. It is super rich and filling! The perfect dessert for dinner option.
For strawberry we add in ground up freeze dried strawberries.
For chocolate we add in cocoa powder.
For vanilla we would add just vanilla extract.
You could also mix in chopped nuts or brownie pieces! Make them keto brownies, of course.

I made the chocolate and added a tiny pinch of instant coffee! Oh, my goodness!!
????????
I use allulose as my sweetener of choice. Three TBLS is perfect for me.
The chocolate ice cream was amazing. Is the nutritional facts preserving or for all?
Per serving
I’ll have to try this tonight! When it becomes pumpkin season I can add pumpkin seasoning ????
Add some instant coffee for mocha flavor!!! Next level!!! So good ❤️
Can you use swerve with this?
yes, that is a 1 for 1 swap
I have made the chocolate “icecream” SEVERAL times now. I only use 2 tbs of sugar substitute. This is FANTASTIC recipe and woth the shaking! I do shake an extra minute. Love, love, love this! Thank you for sharing! I honestly do not leave reviews so that should help you know how good it is!
Just a suggestion but you can use an immersion blender and it will whip the cream in an instant. It will fit inside a quart jar…mine did. I added espresso powder to the chocolate to kick it up a notch.
Do you have a recipe to make a peanut butter low carb ice cream?
I do not but that sounds really good!
So easy and delicious, will make again!! My 6 year old even liked it ???? Thank you!
Can you put the PB(peanut butter) PROTEIN POWDER in and if so how much?
Yes, definitely! I would try 1/4 cup
I mae this in chocolate and vanilla. They are both wonderful!!! Very easy, and they taste like very good ice cream!!!
Hi Jennifer. I’ve made this chocolate recipe 3 times. First time I put too much cocoa powder in it. Second time I couldn’t shake the jar for 5 minutes. Third time is the charm! I have fibromyalgia and MS so shaking the jar caused problems for me. This time I used a mixer for 5 minutes. I tried some it tastes absolutely scrumpdileicious! I’m very happy I found you. I’ve lost 35 pounds in 7 weeks! Many recipes from you!
Peace and blessings to you and yours.
Kathrine may I ask how you lost 35lbs in 7 weeks?!!! I would be very interested in trying this
I made the strawberry it was very good I’m making the chocolate now can’t wait to try it.
I’ve made both the strawberry and the chocolate. Both were very good…and I don’t like strawberry ice cream. Only problem is they freeze solid if left too long in the freezer but just let it thaw for a bit and it’s gtg!!
Must it be a mason jar? Can I use any glass jar with a tight fitting lid or a tightly closed plastic container or even a heavy duty zip lock bag?
yes, you can use any jar or zip top bag
I made this using an immersion blender. Didn’t take much time at all until it was thick
Thanks for the tip! That sounds great!
Can you use coconut milk instead of heavy cream?
I haven’t tried it but you would probably have to use coconut cream. I think coconut milk is too thin.
Can the recipe be doubled?
I love your recipes.
Hi, thanks so much for all your recipes! Can I make this in a bowl with a lid instead of a mason jar? I don’t have any. Thanks xxoo
Yep!
I have made this many times and LOVE it! Thank you for ALL the yummy recipes!
How much vanilla extract for Vanilla ice cream?
1 teaspoon
Could I use frozen strawberries? If so, how many?
I made chocolate and coconut…delicious…no salt in the ice cream?
Hi Jennifer. When I freeze the ice cream, should the lid be on or off?
Thanks! 🙂
On
What is the sugar content per 100 grams as I am diabetic. Thanks
How do you get it not to freeze solid?
Instead of shaking could u use a mixer, blender or frother? I have RA and don’t think I can shake for 5 mins!
Yes, definitely!
