Ingredients
You’ll need just a few pantry staples:
-
6 tablespoons heavy whipping cream (or use a dairy-free heavy cream alternative)
-
5 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
-
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1½ teaspoons Truvia (or 2 tablespoons of your favorite low-carb sweetener)
-
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract (sugar-free)
How to Make a Keto Frosty
1. Whip the Cream
In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
2. Add the Flavor
Slowly add almond milk, vanilla, cocoa powder, and sweetener. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
3. Freeze and Stir
Transfer to a shallow container and freeze. Every 20 minutes, stir with a fork to break up the frozen edges and keep the texture smooth. Repeat for about 2–3 hours, or until soft-serve consistency is reached.
4. Serve & Enjoy
Spoon into a bowl or glass and enjoy immediately. If too firm, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Flavor Variations

-
Mocha Frosty: Add 1 tsp instant coffee granules.
-
Chocolate Peanut Butter: Mix in 1 tbsp peanut butter before freezing.
-
Mint Chocolate: Add a drop of peppermint extract and a sprinkle of sugar-free chocolate chips.
FAQs
Can I use a blender?
Absolutely! A blender or hand mixer both work well. An ice cream maker is optional for ultra-smooth texture.
What if I don’t get stiff peaks?
No problem! Just ensure the mix is light and airy before freezing. It’ll still turn out creamy and delicious.
How do I store leftovers?
This recipe makes one serving, but if you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the freezer. Let it thaw slightly before serving again.
