This Low Carb Chocolate Mason Jar Ice Cream is a quick and easy way to make ice cream at home without having to use an ice cream maker. It is very versatile and you can add in any of your favorite low carb ice cream toppings.
The easiest keto ice cream recipe
Way back in 2012 I made ice cream out of heavy cream. Then somehow I forgot about it and never did it again. This week my newsfeed has been inundated with the 5 minute mason jar ice cream video. After seeing it the first 3 or 4 times, I just knew that I had to make a low carb mason jar ice cream version. I couldn't believe that a quick and easy, no churn ice cream could taste so amazing. It is rich and creamy and best of all it comes in at just over 2 carbs per serving.
Why this Low Carb Chocolate Mason Jar Ice Cream is better than the storebought stuff
By now you are probably no stranger to the low carb Halo Top ice cream craze. People are rushing out to their grocery stores trying to find new keto ice cream flavors and often times finding empty shelves. The true struggle isn't in finding it though, it is in not eating the entire pint once you get it home. This Low Carb Chocolate Mason Jar Ice Cream is the solution to that problem.
Even if you are all 4 servings, it would still only be 9 grams of carbs. I know I would be willing to splurge 9 carbs of a rich, decadent low carb dessert, especially one with real ingredients. While the low carb/high protein "ice cream" options are loaded with junk fillers, this Low Carb Chocolate Mason Jar Ice Cream is the real deal.
With just 5 ingredients or less and 5 minutes of your time, you can make an awesome homemade ice cream that won't break the carb bank. Best of all, you don't need any fancy equipment to make it happen. Just a wide mouth mason jar with a lid and you are set!

Soooo very good! Can't wait to try some variations. Having a sweet treat may very well what I need to keep me on keto.

Simple, easy, and delicious!

This is a keeper. We loved it. Personally, I'll use half the chocolate chips next time. Also added toasted unsweetened coconut flakes and toasted pecan pieces. SO good! Thanks for this. Can't wait to change it up with all the variations mentioned. Yum.

Just made this today for the first time. I just put it in the freezer. I did my mixing a bit differently. I put all the ingredients except the chocolate chips in my smoothie blender in the largest cup. Result: perfect chocolate mousse! Folded in the chips. Grudgingly put it in the freezer rather than devouring it.
Evelyn P says
Thanks! Was just wondering if I could use my smoothie blender, rather than the 5 minutes of shaking the jar. 🙂
Christy says
Best low carb ice cream and such a simple, easy recipe! I sub the choc chips with a little bit of peanut butter.
Robert K. Montague says
made this great ice cream the first time, the second time I used the bullet blender blended it until the unit make the same sound it does when I make butter it thickened up reality tight, when I took the lid off it was very thick but it was the best pudding I have ever had. I don't freeze it anymore but I do add different flavorings. Very pleased to have found this recipe.
