This is the best way to encourage portion control. These keto ice cream bites are covered in chocolate and can be made into popsicles too.
Keto Ice Cream Treats
This is a semi-homemade recipe. I used pre-made ket0-friendly ice cream and covered it in chocolate. The result is amazing and delicious! I can’t wait to share this recipe with you!
This is super-ease to make. In fact, it is so easy that you’ll probably make it over and over again – all year long.
How To Make Ice Cream Bites
The basic idea behind this recipe is that you melt some chocolate and then roll balls of ice cream into it. There is a bit more to it than that – and I’ll share links to the products I used that made this even easier.
Silicone molds will work the best to make the ice cream bites. The ice cream doesn’t stick to it and will pop out easily. If you don’t have silicon molds, ice cube trays will also work.
You can even add popsicle sticks to the molds or ice cube trays so it’s easier for kids to make.
Kid-Friendly Keto Snacks
I don’t know about you, but parties are the hardest places to stay on my keto diet. I prefer to host so that I can prepare all the food. Even if I’m not hosting, I can make these ice cream bites and take them with me. Even kids love these ice cream bites.
To speed up the process, you can use your favorite keto-friendly ice cream.
Keto Ice Cream Recipe
If you want to make your own low-carb ice cream, then this keto chocolate ice cream is the best recipe out there. Or, you can make some keto mint chocolate ice cream for a taste that resembles Thin Mint cookies.
For this recipe, any flavor of ice cream will work. Since you are basically covering it in chocolate, any flavor is delicious!
Summer Keto Treats
What is your favorite summertime dessert? When the weather is super hot, anything frozen will refresh and cool you off. Keep a few silicone molds full of these ice cream bites in your freezer and you’ll always have a low-carb dessert that you can enjoy guilt-free.
Another one of my favorite summer keto treats is keto chocolate mousse. It’s a no-bake recipe that is light, airy, and full of rich chocolate taste.
Low-carb no-bake cheesecake bars are another no-bake recipe that doesn’t require you to heat up your kitchen with your oven. They are made with strawberries and easy to make with different types of fruit or flavors.
Ice Cream Bites Covered in Chocolate
Since these ice cream bites are made so small and in individual molds, they are the perfect answer for portion control. There are 5g net carbs in each bite. That carb amount could change depending on which flavor of ice cream you make it with.
Whenever I am craving chocolate, I like to munch on one of these little bites. It satiates my cravings and keeps me within my macros.

The entire recipe for these keto ice cream bites is in the printable recipe card just a little further below. First, I have some step-by-step pictures explaining the entire process. Don’t forget to pin this post to your keto-friendly dessert board on Pinterest so you can find it later.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Freeze Time: 60 minutes
Servings: 12
Ingredients:
Keto Ice Cream
Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate
Coconut Oil
Instructions:
Once your ice cream has been allowed to sit and is very melted, scoop small spoonful’s of the ice cream into the mold, making sure it’s packed in there good.
Place the mold on a baking sheet and put into the freezer for about 1 hour so the ice cream bites form well and freeze back up.
In a microwave-safe bowl heat your chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second increments until chocolate is smooth.
Remove the molds from the freezer and cover the baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
You will want to work quickly on this step. Pop the ice cream bites out of the mold and quickly dip into the melted chocolate. I found using two forks worked best to toss them and ensure they were fully coated.
Lift out the bite from the chocolate and allow the excess to come off. Place on the baking tray. Repeat with remaining ice cream bites.
Once your bites have hardened back up they are ready to enjoy. They are best stored in an airtight container in the freezer.
