We’re using Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend to sweeten these bars, because it leaves the texture soft and creamy, like regular ice cream. Like I mentioned in my keto chocolate ice cream post, this is the only sweetener I use for ice cream. Ice creams sweetened with other brands of monk fruit or with erythritol will get rock hard in the freezer, and can also crystallize for a gritty result. The sweetener is especially critical for the kind of ice cream you can scoop, but Besti makes the best consistency for this keto ice cream bar recipe as well.

Unsweetened Almond Milk – Can use plain or vanilla, just make sure it’s the unsweetened variety. Try my homemade almond milk recipe if you want to make it yourself. You can also substitute coconut milk beverage (the kind in a carton, not a can) for a nut-free option.Heavy Cream – You could use canned full-fat coconut milk here for a dairy-free option, but it will give the bars a different flavor.Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – This is the closest to sugar and is particularly critical for the right ice cream consistency. Plain allulose will also work, but you’ll need about 30% more of it. You can also use Powdered Besti if that’s what you have on hand.Vanilla Extract – For vanilla ice cream inside! You can also add different flavor extracts, like hazelnut or fruity ones.Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate Chips – You can also use milk chocolate chips here, just make sure they are sugar-free.Coconut Oil – Coconut oil shouldn’t be substituted, as it helps melt the chocolate into a coating for the ice cream bars.
