LOW CARB RICH CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM



Low Carb Rich Chocolate Ice Cream image

This recipe is for a decadently rich and creamy low carb chocolate ice cream.... think Haagen Dazs! I recommend Swerve Sweetener (Erythritol) for this recipe since it really does taste just like sugar and has no aftertaste like some other sugar substitutes... but by all means use whatever sweetener you prefer. You will need an ice cream machine for this.
