I have a small obsession with mint. So does my whole family… so something like this would be dangerous if it were not so flipping healthy! It takes only about 5 minutes to whip up and then you have to let it chill in the fridge for a couple of hours, churn it in an ice cream maker, and then let chill in the freezer for a couple more hours. But it is worth the wait, I promise. I get BPA free coconut milk from Whole Foods and flavor it with NOW Mint Chlorophyll from Fullscript and dōTERRA Peppermint, which is the cleanest tasting peppermint I have tried for flavoring desserts, chocolates and hot drinks!
Give it a shot and let me know what you think!
Drizzle with keto dark chocolate or top with keto chocolate chips!
