Keto Chocolate Dipped Ice Cream Bars

Finding good frozen treats on a keto diet can sometimes feel tricky. Store-bought options often have strange fillers or hidden sugars that I prefer to avoid.

That is why I love making these keto chocolate dipped ice cream bars at home. They taste rich, creamy, and just like the classic ice cream bars you buy from a store.

Recipe Ingredients

For the Ice Cream Bars

  • 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream, Cold
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 2/3 cup Powdered Allulose
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/8 tsp Salt

For the Chocolate Shell

  • 1 cup Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips
  • 3 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 1/3 cup Roasted Almonds, Finely Chopped

How To Make

Step 1

Beat the cream cheese, powdered allulose, vanilla extract and salt with 1/4 cup of the heavy cream until completely smooth.

Step 2

Whip the remaining heavy cream to stiff peaks and fold it into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Spoon the mixture into 8 to 10 popsicle molds, tapping them on the counter to remove air pockets. Insert the sticks and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Step 4

Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30 second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. Stir in the chopped almonds and pour into a tall glass, letting it cool for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Run the molds briefly under warm water and unmold the bars onto a parchment lined tray. Return them to the freezer for 10 minutes so they are very cold before dipping.

Step 6

Dip each bar into the chocolate, let the excess drip off for a few seconds and place it back on the tray. The shell sets in under a minute.

Step 7

Freeze the dipped bars for 15 more minutes, then serve or store them in a freezer bag.

Tips

Stick With Powdered Allulose

From my experience, you should avoid swapping allulose for erythritol or monk fruit blends in this recipe.

Erythritol tends to crystallize when frozen, which makes the ice cream bars rock hard and icy.

Powdered allulose keeps the ice cream soft enough to bite into easily straight from your freezer.

Make Sure Cream Cheese Is Truly Soft

You’ll get the best results if your cream cheese sits on the counter until it is completely soft before mixing.

Cool, smooth keto chocolate ice cream bar

If it is even slightly chilled, it will leave tiny white lumps throughout your ice cream base.

Blending it with just a splash of heavy cream first ensures everything turns out silky and smooth.

Cool the Chocolate Before Dipping

I recommend letting your melted chocolate mixture cool down until it feels barely lukewarm to the touch.

If the chocolate is still warm when you dip the bars, it will melt the outer layer of ice cream and slide right off.

Letting it cool gives you that thick, crisp shell that sets in just a few seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use powdered erythritol instead of powdered allulose?

You can use it, but allulose gives the best creamy texture because it keeps the ice cream soft and scoopable in the freezer.

Erythritol tends to crystalize and freeze quite hard, so you would need to let the bars sit on the counter for a few minutes before eating.
