Keto Ice Cream Sandwich Recipe

Get ready for summer with this simple keto ice cream sandwich recipe! Made with low-carb cookies. 

Ice cream sandwiches are some of my favorite summertime treats. I love the cold ice cream in between the layers of crumbling cookies. It brings back so many memories for me, does it do that for you too? 

Two Low-Carb Dessert Recipes In One

This recipe is for both the keto peanut butter cookies and then the no-churn low-carb ice cream. When you put them together, you have a summertime favorite! 

Save this post because even if you aren’t in the mood for ice cream sandwiches, you can either make the cookies or the ice cream and eat them separately. 

The entire recipe is at the bottom of this post. Skip on down if you want to get right to it. First, I’m going to be answering some frequently asked questions and sharing some baking tips too. 

Kid-Friendly Low-Carb Dessert

This recipe doesn’t taste sugar-free! My kiddos ate it up and I bet yours will too. So many kids (and adults, like me) love ice cream sandwiches. Enjoy dessert together as a family without compromising on the carbs or the flavor. 

How To Make Keto Peanut Butter Cookies

The base of these ice cream sandwiches is the best keto peanut butter cookies you have ever had! They are so easy to make that you can whip up a batch whenever you are craving something sweet. 

More Low-Carb Desserts

Here are some more of my favorite keto dessert ideas. 

• Keto Peanut Butter Mousse
• Easy Keto Coffee Cake

Make the cookies ahead of time and keep them on your counter. They will stay good for about a week in an airtight container. 

Ingredients in Keto Peanut Butter Cookies

Here’s what I used in my low-carb cookies, along with any substitutes you can make. 

• • Peanut Butter – Use sugar-free natural peanut butter. You can substitute other nut butters like almond butter, cashew butter, or sunbutter instead. They all turn out the same.
  • Almond Flour – Use only almond flour. Do not use almond meal. Almond meal isn’t ground as fine and will make your cookies taste grainy. 
  • Egg
  • Swerve – Use either Swerve granular sugar or the brown sugar Swerve. 

Dip Cookies in Chocolate

For a little extra fun, dip the cookies in melted sugar-free chocolate and let them cool. This will give them a little extra sweetness and tons of amazing flavor! 

How To Make Keto Ice Cream

This is my favorite way to make low-carb ice cream. It’s a no-churn recipe that is so easy to make that you won’t want to go to the store and buy it pre-made ever again. 

It’s also really easy to customize too. My recipe is a basic vanilla one. I’ll share my favorite ways to customize it – all of them are low-carb. 

Ingredients In Keto Ice Cream

To keep my ice cream low in carbs and high in healthy fats, I used the following heart-healthy ingredients. 

 

• Heavy Whipping Cream – If you are trying to eat dairy-free, you can replace it with full-fat coconut milk instead. 

• Swerve Powdered Sugar  – This works best because of the consistency of the powdered sugar. 

• Vanilla Extract

 

Low-Carb Ice Cream Mix-In Ideas

If you want to make different flavors of ice cream but keep it low-carb, then try any of these ideas. 

 

• Sugar-Free Chocolate – Mix in some sugar-free cocoa powder for some keto chocolate ice cream.

• Strawberries – Chop up some strawberries and mix them in your ice cream. 

• Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips – Make some keto chocolate chip ice cream with some sugar-free chocolate chips. 

• Peppermint Extract – Chocolate and peppermint go so well together. If you make chocolate ice cream, mix in some peppermint extract for a burst of flavor! 

• Sugar-Free Caramel Sauce – Swirl in some sugar-free caramel sauce for a little extra sweetness. Sprinkle some sea salt on top to make a salted caramel flavor.
