What You Need to Make Keto Ice Cream Bonbon
Making delicious keto ice cream bonbons is easy and enjoyable. All you need to get started are a few ingredients and basic tools.
Below is a list of everything you need, and it includes some helpful variation suggestions to make different flavors of keto bonbons.
Ingredients
Ice Cream Center
- ½ cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 tablespoon Low-Carb Powdered Sweetener
- ¼ teaspoon Extract of choice: Vanilla Extract, Mint Extract, Strawberry Extract or Raspberry Extract.
- ½ teaspoon Unflavored Gelatin
- 2 teaspoon Cold Water

- ⅔ cup Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips (choice of sugar-free dark chocolate or sugar-free white chocolate chips)
- 2 teaspoons Coconut Oil
- Sugar-Free Sprinkles * Optional
See the Printable Recipe Card for More Details and Nutritional Data.
Instructions
Line a tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.
Add heavy cream and low-carb powdered sweetener to a stand mixer or bowl with an electric hand mixer.
Beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sweetener until thickened but not forming peaks yet. Shut off the mixer.
Whisk the gelatin and cold water in a small bowl until combined.
Quickly turn on the mixer at a slow speed and pour the gelatin water into the heavy cream while mixing.
Add the extract of choice and increase the speed to medium-high.
Beat until stiff peaks form, or a thicker frosting-like texture forms (this can take up to 5 minutes).
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place 1 tablespoon-sized mounds of the whipped cream mixture onto the prepared tray about 1 ½ inches apart.
Place the tray in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the mounds are firm.
Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a heat-safe bowl and melt in the microwave for 25 seconds. Remove and stir, and if not melted yet, place back in the microwave for 10-second increments until melted ( You can also use a stovetop double boiler to melt the chips).
Stir and let cool for 30-45 seconds until the chocolate is warm but not hot.
Remove the ice cream mounds from the freezer and quickly spoon the melted chocolate over each mound to cover.
Sprinkle with optional sugar-free sprinkles & return the tray to the freezer and freeze for 10 to 15 minutes until firm.
Serve.
Hints: Use a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop to make each bonbon uniform, or use a spoon to make more rustic free-form bonbons.
Ensure the chocolate is at the right temperature – Temperature can affect the consistency of the melted chocolate. Ensure the chocolate is not too hot or burned for a smooth, glossy finish.
Variations
Choose different extracts for the ice cream flavors in your bonbons, such as vanilla, mint, raspberry, or strawberry extracts.
Also, you can choose sugar-free dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, or sugar-free white chocolate chips for your preferred coating.
Equipment
Storage
Store the leftover bonbons in a parchment-lined sealed container – Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh. Line the container with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Place them in the freezer to keep them cold.
Once bonbons have been frozen for hours, they can become hard and will need to defrost at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes to soften before eating.
