    This Almond Joy Ice Cream is a rich chocolate ice cream with chunks of chewy coconut filling, chocolate chips, & roasted almonds. This easy recipe is low carb, keto, gluten-free, grain-free, sugar-free, and Trim Healthy Mama friendly.

    Almond Joys are one of the candies that I have the hardest time resisting when my kids come home on Halloween with pillowcases full of candy. The chocolate/almond/coconut combination is such a winner with my taste buds. A few months ago I made a sugar free almond joy copycat candy recipe and last month I decided to turn the same flavors into ice cream!

    This base is very similar to my Ultimate Chocolate Ice Cream but the difference in mix-ins warranted a whole new post. I keep sneaking bites of both from the freezer undecided which one I like better.

    My friend Keri over at My Table of Three also has a chocolate ice cream with Toffee Granola swirled in. That is on my to try list when these are gone.

    What is Almond Joy Ice Cream

    Only the best ice cream even. Creamy chocolate ice cream with roasted nuts and chunks of chewy coconut candy.

    How to Make Almond Joy Ice Cream

    I try to keep my ice cream recipes easy. I put the ingredients in the blender, give them a good mix, and then pour into the ice cream machine. That's it.

    For this almond joy ice cream, you make the chewy coconut filling while the ice cream is churning. The entire process is less than 30 minutes. With only about 10 minutes of hands-on time.

    Notes on Ice Cream Ingredients

    Vegetable Glycerin - Glycerin helps low carb ice cream stay scoopable in the freezer. The glycerin is optional but highly recommended in this recipe. It helps the ice cream not to freeze too hard to scoop. If you choose not to use it you will have to let the ice cream sit out for 20-30 minutes before scooping.
    Raw Eggs - I use raw egg yolks in my ice cream recipes because they give the ice cream a creamier texture and a nice mouth feeling. If you are concerned about using raw egg yolks you can purchase pasteurized eggs or you can temper the ice cream base.

    Toppings

    This has so much yumminess mixed in that it really doesn't need additional toppings. But if you want to add some these are great choices:

    1. whipped cream
    2. easy low carb caramel
    3. hot fudge

    Equipment

    Ice Cream Maker
    Blender

    Ingredients

    Chocolate Base:

    • ½ cup heavy cream
    • ½ cup half and half
    • ⅔ cup almond milk
    • ⅔ cup cottage cheese
    • 2 egg yolks ***
    • ⅓ cup dark cocoa powder
    • ½ teaspoon almond extract
    • ½ cup Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)
    • 1 tablespoon glycerin

    Almond Joy Filling:

    • 2 oz coconut oil
    • 2 cups toasted coconut flakes
    • ⅓ cup Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)
    • ¾ cup roasted salted almonds
    • 1 teaspoon almond extract
    • 1 teaspoon glycerin
    • ½ cup sugar free chocolate chips
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Combine all the ingredients for the ice cream base in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
    • Meanwhile, process half of the toasted coconut flakes in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Stir together all of the filling ingredients.
    • When the ice cream is finished churning spoon ⅓ of it into a large container, top with ⅓ of the topping, gently swirl. Continue layering the ice cream and topping. (You can also freeze this in several small containers). Freeze for 3-4 hours or until firm

    Notes

    *** If you are concerned about using raw egg yolks you can purchase pasteurized eggs or you can temper the ice cream base.
    Notes on Sweeteners: 
    I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.
    To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for. 
     
    To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.
     
    Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.

      I'm not an almond milk fan, what would you suggest as a substitute Taryn. May I say that every recipe of yours that I've tried so far has been wondering. The frozen custard is my favorite so far of the ice cream recipes. I love the texture, and I add 2 teaspoons of vanilla.

        Either low carb milk (like fairlife), another nut milk, or the coconut milk that comes in a carton.

        And thank you!

          I meant wonderful, obviously. My smartphone thought differently. 😁. Thank you, I have Fairlife in the fridge.
