Sugar Free Mint Ice Cream With Magic Shell

Last week I was kindly sent Maria Emmerich’s new cookbook. I made her incredible sugar free mint ice cream recipe and had to share it. I could have picked any number of recipes from her book because honestly, this is the type of book I would dream of writing one day.

The information, the recipes, the photography and the meal plans are exactly what everyone needs when embarking on a low carb lifestyle change.

UPDATE – scroll below to watch  my new quick cooking video. It shows you exactly how to make this bad boy!

Sugar Free Mint Ice Cream

The ice cream is egg free and is covered with the most incredible sugar free and dairy free magic shell (finally, a recipe for magic shell that actually works – I know, I’ve made this three times already).  Oh and did I mention this is such a sneaky way to get your kids to eat avocados?

There are 2 whole avocados hidden in here, and no one in my household even noticed. Avocados are so nutritious and packed with vitamins, nutrients and fibre.

So full credit goes to Maria for this recipe. Take a look at her website or grab a copy of her cookbook (almost a low carb encyclopaedia) for yourself or a family friend who needs some help.

I truly think Maria writes the best Keto Cookbooks out there (and I have A LOT). She writes in such a way that she can make the most difficult concept, easy to understand. Then there are her amazing recipes and photography. A very talented woman indeed. Click here to buy now.

    I was wondering how much is an actual serving size of this? Both the ice cream and the sauce. Thank you

    In the Sugar Free Magic Shell Ingredients…..there is a difference of 40 g in the US measurements vs the Metric one..a Bit confusing.

    Hi there, hoping to make this ASAP! I’m not dairy free so can I use cows milk or even coconut milk although, not sure how coconut and mint would taste together?? Thanks

    I am really interested in the ice cream, but it has heavy cream. I have to be dairy free. Could I use coconut cream? Thanks.

    I just made the “magic shell” topping for some icecream I already had in the fridge. I only had granular Swerve (not confectioners), so it came out rather grainy, but still good. My kids are going to be so impressed with the way it hardens on the cold icecream. I’m ordering the confectioners for next time. Thank you for an awesome recipe!

      Isn’t it fab? I have only started to use Swerve and am incredibly impressed. I have already made this recipe 3 times. Any left over magic shell, I add frozen berries to and they turn into the most amazing chocolate coated berry bombs – oh my!

      You can always make confectioners sweetener by putting the granular sweetener in a ninja or nutribullet.

      Suggestion..All you need to do is grind up the sugar substitute to get the confectioners. I love this so always have it on hand

    Wow, it’s looking so yummy and delicious. The combination of coconut sugar and mint ice cream is great. I love this. I will try it very soon. It is totally egg free, dairy free and nut free.

    What alternative to Swerve do you use and where can it be sourced in NZ?

      Yes you can use Natvia icing mix. You can find it in most supermarkets.
