Keto Frosty Recipe
This Keto Frosty is a low-carb, creamy dessert that’s both satisfying and easy to make. It’s rich in flavor, thanks to the combination of cocoa powder and heavy cream, while being sweetened with erythritol for a keto-friendly treat.
Ingredients:
- 2 to 2.5 cups ice cubes
- 1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream
- 2/3 cup (130g) granular erythritol
- 2 tablespoons (12g) cocoa powder
- Dash of salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions:
- Prepare Ingredients:
- Place the ice cubes in your blender first to ensure even blending. Add the heavy cream, erythritol, cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract on top.
- Blend:
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and thick. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender if needed to ensure everything is well combined.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately for the best texture, as the frosty will be cold and thick, just like the classic version.
Notes:
- Ice: You can adjust the amount of ice depending on your preference. More ice will result in a thicker, more frozen texture, while less ice will make it creamier.
- Serving Size: This recipe makes 4 small servings or 2 larger servings. You can add whipped cream on top if you like an extra layer of indulgence.
- Storage: Since this frosty is ice-based, it’s best enjoyed right away. The texture can change if left to sit, as the ice may melt. If you want to avoid leftovers, halve the recipe for a single-serving treat.
Keto Frosty Recipe – FAQs
1. Can I use a different sweetener instead of erythritol?
Yes, you can substitute erythritol with other keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit, stevia, or allulose. Just keep in mind that the sweetness level may vary, so adjust the amount to your taste.
2. Is there a dairy-free version of this recipe?
Yes! You can replace the heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream or almond milk for a dairy-free option. Coconut cream will give a thicker consistency, while almond milk will be lighter.
3. Can I make this frosty ahead of time?
It’s best to enjoy the frosty immediately after making it for the perfect texture. If left for too long, the ice will melt and change the consistency. However, you can freeze leftovers and re-blend them to restore the texture.
4. Can I make the frosty thicker?
Absolutely! Add more ice or reduce the amount of cream for a thicker, more ice-cream-like texture. For an even creamier frosty, you can slightly decrease the amount of ice.
5. How many carbs are in this Keto Frosty?
The carb count will vary slightly depending on the ingredients you use, but this recipe generally has 2-3 grams of net carbs per serving, making it perfect for a keto diet.
6. Can I use unsweetened cocoa powder?
Yes, unsweetened cocoa powder is ideal for keeping the recipe keto-friendly while still giving it a rich chocolate flavor.
7. What if I don’t have a powerful blender?
If your blender struggles with ice, you can crush the ice cubes first or use smaller ice cubes to make blending easier. You can also pulse the mixture in intervals to prevent overworking the blender.
8. How do I store leftovers?
Leftovers can be stored in the freezer, but the texture may change and become harder. To enjoy it again, you can let it sit out for a few minutes to soften or blend it again with a bit of additional cream or ice.
9. Can I make this frosty without ice?
While ice is essential for the frosty-like texture, you can experiment with freezing some of the cream beforehand to create a thicker, colder consistency without using traditional ice cubes.
10. What other flavors can I add?
For variety, you can add sugar-free chocolate syrup, peppermint extract, or even a tablespoon of peanut butter for different flavor profiles while keeping it keto-friendly!
