# Recipe 4
Keto Chocolate Protein Ice Cream
Ingredients: ⠀
- 5 Large Egg yolks⠀
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sweetener of Choice⠀
- 1 pinch Sea salt⠀
- 1 1/2 cups Unsweetened vanilla almond milk⠀
- 1 cup Heavy cream⠀
- 1/4 cup Cocoa powder⠀
- 1/4 cup NPL Keto Whey Protein Powder⠀
- Festive sprinkles
⠀
Directions:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, powdered sweetener, and sea salt, until combined and light yellow in colour. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the almond milk, cream, and cocoa powder. Heat over medium heat, until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat.
- Very slowly, pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly. (Doing this in a thin stream and whisking vigorously will prevent scrambling the egg.)
- Once the custard is combined and smooth, transfer the mixture back to the saucepan. Return to the stove over low heat and heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches76 degrees C, about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, until very cold (below 40 degrees F (4 degrees C).
- Pour the cold custard mixture into a pre-frozen ice cream maker bowl. Churn according to manufacturer instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until ice cream is the texture of soft serve.
- Add sprinkles for extra love!
- 8. Serve immediately, or for firmer ice cream, transfer to a freezer container and freeze until solid.
This healthy protein ice cream is only 233 calories per serving.
