This diet chocolate ice cream is a true delight and a lifesaver on a hot day for those on the keto diet. Made with egg yolk custard, it's incredibly smooth and creamy, like traditional ice cream, while natural cocoa imparts a rich chocolate color and flavor. Of all the keto-friendly sweeteners, stevia is the best. It adds a moderate sweetness without altering the texture of the ice cream. To make it, you'll need an ice cream maker. Be careful not to overchurn the custard, or the dessert will turn out grainy.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 6 tablespoons stevia
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.5 tsp coarse salt
• 6 large egg yolks
• Special equipment: ice cream maker

Preparation:

Step 1
• In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and cocoa powder. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Step 2
• Whisk the stevia, vanilla extract, salt, and egg yolks in a large bowl until pale, about 1 minute. Gradually, whisking constantly, pour in 1 cup of the hot cream mixture, then return the mixture to the saucepan and place over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon and reaches 180°F (82°C), about 6 minutes.
Step 3
• Pour the custard into a large bowl and stir continuously until it cools to room temperature. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 3 hours. For faster cooling, place the bowl with the custard in a larger bowl of ice water and stir until completely cool.
Step 4
• Churn the cream in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to an airtight freezer container and freeze until completely set, at least 1 hour.
