    Frozen Christmas desserts

    It may seem strange to many of you around the world, but our New Zealand Christmas is in the middle of summer. We still enjoy the traditional roast turkey and mulled wine, but we do also like Christmas barbecues and cold frozen desserts.

    Frozen desserts are the perfect make-ahead desserts that will save you precious time for your Christmas meal plan.

    If you're in a hurry for a quick and easy healthy dessert recipe, you don't want to mess about making a Christmas pudding or a keto cheesecake and its base. Figuring out if you can swap almond flour for coconut flour and how many carbs per serving. This recipe is super fast and only needs a few simple ingredients.

    This easy frozen dessert is the perfect sweet treat. It's refined sugar-free, no almond flour egg-free, gluten-free, grain-free, sweet treat that is perfect for the holiday season. It can be served in individual ramekin dishes or in one big batch at the Christmas dessert buffet.

    Ingredients

    All quantities, ingredients, and instructions are in the recipe card below.

    • Double cream - heavy cream.
    • Granulated sweetener of choice - add more or less to your personal preference and sweet tooth. The most popular sweeteners are erythritol, allulose, monk fruit, and powdered sweetener make a perfectly smooth creamy frozen dessert.
    • Desiccated/shredded coconut - always check food labels to ensure it is sugar-free unsweetened coconut.
    • Fresh strawberries - or your favorite diced or cubed low-carb fruit.
    • Cacao nibs - or sugar-free chocolate chips.
    • 80% or 90% chocolate - to drizzle over your dessert.
    • Vanilla essence, peppermint essence, orange extract, or even brandy to make it extra special.

    Method

    STEP 1: Whisk the heavy cream and powdered sweetener together to form soft peaks.

    STEP 2: Fold in the unsweetened desiccated coconut, fresh strawberries, cacao nibs (or sugar-free chocolate chips), and any flavoring or alcohol you prefer.

    STEP 3: Pour your sugar-free whipped cream mixture into a round bowl (if you want the shape of a traditional Christmas pudding), teacups, or individual serving bowls.

    STEP 4: Freeze overnight.

    How to decorate and serve

    PREPARE: On the day you want to serve the frozen white Christmas, sit the dish in some warm water for only a few seconds. Cover the top of your frozen dessert with a plate. Carefully flip the Christmas pudding over and turn it onto the plate to serve.

    DECORATE: Drizzle with melted chocolate or sugar-free magic shell. It can go back in the freezer then be removed 15 minutes before you want to serve it to guests.

    GARNISH: Decorate with sliced strawberries and more coconut.

    Substitutions

    SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Your delicious frozen Christmas pudding recipes can be made into the shape of a traditional Christmas mound or it can be frozen in a large casserole dish or cake tin then scooped like ice cream.

    You can even freeze it into individual teacups to serve. Just don't choose your best antique china that may have a tiny crack that wouldn't survive the freezer.

    SUBSTITUTIONS and VARIATIONS:

    1: Instead of strawberries, you can use fresh or frozen blueberries or raspberries for their natural sweetness and help keep this recipe refined sugar-free.

    2: Instead of sugar-free chocolate or 95% chocolate poured over the top, you can use my chocolate sugar-free magic shell to satisfy your chocolate craving.

    3: Instead of adding alcohol, you can use brandy essence, rum essence, or whiskey extract to make this frozen dessert alcohol-free.

    4: Instead of plain whipped cream, why not add unsweetened cacao powder to the recipe for a frozen chocolate ice cream dessert or chocolate Christmas pudding. To make this low-carb frozen dessert dairy-free you can use whipped coconut cream.

    5: Instead of vanilla essence (vanilla extract) you can use peppermint extract, brandy extract, orange essence, and even rum essence.

    Recipe FAQ

    What are cacao nibs?

    Cacao nibs are dried and roasted cacao beans (basically chocolate before the sugar has been added). You can use these wherever you would normally use chocolate chips in a recipe.

    Can I make this frozen dessert dairy-free?

    Yes, you could make this with full-fat coconut cream.

    How long can it stay in the freezer?

    It can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

    What can I use instead of cacao nibs?

    Try pistachios, chopped macadamias, sugar-free chocolate chips, small food-safe Christmas trinkets, or anything else traditional to you, or even stir a swirl of peanut butter through the centre.

      I have made this frozen dessert every Christmas since you posted it back in 2014, I'm a long time fan. My favourite flavour is to add peppermint flavouring to the whipped cream AND the melted chocolate. Thank you for all your quick and easy recipes, they are a life saver at this time of year.

        You could, but it doesn't need to be churned. The whipped cream makes it light and fluffy.

      I just put mine in the freezer for dinner Christmas Eve but my cream got very over whipped. Will that make the dessert too hard once frozen? If so would there be any way to salvage it a bit?

        Bother. Maybe let it defrost a little before serving. Serve with berries and pouring cream? That would take the 'dryness' out of the over-whipped cream perhaps.

          I ended up making a second batch this morning and putting it in individual bowls rather than one big one so that it would have time to freeze by dinner. I also took the large one I'd originally made and put that in the fridge so it would soften by dinner. I took care not to over whip the cream but the second lot I made ended up rock hard just like the first. Luckily the first one softened enough that it was firm and held together, but still soft enough to eat properly. Both tasted great though. My sweet tooth has diminished so that even a bit of sweetness can be too much for me, so I had both dark (90%) and milk chocolate melted in bowls so everyone could take their pick and put on what they wanted. I tried the Old Gold 70% with the Chocolate Heaven Cake and even that was WAY too sweet for me and gave me a headache. I'm actually quite pleased about it because it means I have been following your website well and adjusted so much to sugar free that my body seems to actually be rejecting the sugar 🙂

      When you say peppermint flavouring do you mean the peppermint essence you would find in the same place as the vanilla essence in the baking aisle? And how much would you suggest using if you don't want the peppermint flavour to be overwhelming? Thank you!

        Yes peppermint flavouring/essence is what I use. Just add a few drops at a time and taste before the addition of any more, so it's not overpowering for you. Enjoy.

      Hi Libby, we tried out some of your Christmas recipes early so that I could tweak them if necessary. I made this with grated chocolate in place of cocoa nibs and no fruit. It was so easy and looked great but it was way too sweet for us, surprisingly! I'll make it again in smaller amounts with varying amounts of Stevia to try to make it taste perfect for us. Can't wait

        Hi Julie, yes the amount of sweetener is so personal depending on how long you have been sugar free and low carb (and your personal preference). I always say "sweetener of choice and to taste". Add a little at a time and continue to taste as you can always add more, but cannot remove it. If a recipe turns out not sweet enough, you can always rescue it by serving with sweetened cream.
