    Is Gelato Keto?

    Gelato is a very popular Italian frozen dessert a lot like ice cream. Traditional gelato recipes are loaded with sugar which makes them a no-go for the keto diet. But gelato can be made keto!

    By substituting sugar for Erythritol and including other low-carb ingredients you can make this a low carb gelato. Enjoy keto gelato as a low carb ice cream alternative. It's basically a keto-friendly ice cream!

    Keto gelato or keto ice cream only requires a few simple ingredients. For the exact measurements check out the recipe card below.

    For the keto gelator bars:

    • Heavy cream

    How to Make Keto Gelato (Low Carb Ice Cream)

    To get started line an 8x8 baking pan with a baking sheet. We'll start with the gelato bars. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat. Add the Erythritol, butter and vanilla extract then stir until all the ingredients are dissolved.

    Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes and then add in the sugar-free chocolate chips. Keep stirring until the mixture reaches a smooth, velvety texture. Now pour the mixture into your baking pan and pop it in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.

    While you're waiting for the gelato to set you can make the festive frosting. As we mentioned earlier you can customize this recipe for any holiday! We made these for Christmas so we went with a minty green frosting.

    Grab an electric blender and beat the cream cheese, Erythritol, heavy cream and mint extract. Get the frosting to a smooth consistency and then fold in the food coloring.

    Once the gelato is set take it out of the freezer. Spread the mint frosting over the frozen keto gelato evenly. Cut into 25 small squares and top each square with a dried cranberry. Serve cold and enjoy!
