If you’re ready to add a little spice to your dessert and happen to like the bold flavors of chipotle, you’ve got to try this Chipotle Keto Ice Cream! Made with smoky chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, this is a sweet treat with a nice little kick of spicy heat.
Finely dice 2 Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce and set them aside. (I suggest wearing gloves for this step.)
2 Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce
In a small to medium saucepan, combine 1 cup Heavy Cream, ½ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk, ¼ cup Powdered Erythritol, ¼ cup Allulose, and the diced Chipotle Peppers.
2.25 cups Heavy Cream, ½ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk, ½ cup Powdered Erythritol, ¼ cup Allulose
Whisk to combine and then bring the mixture to a boil. At that point, drop the heat and continue to simmer it for 40 minutes, whisking frequently. (I whisk most of the time.)
Once it has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and add 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter. Whisk until it is completely combined and then continue whisking constantly while you sprinkle in ¼ teaspoon Xanthan Gum. Whisk until the Xanthan Gum is completely dissolved. The mixture will begin to thicken even more.
Then whisk in 1 ounce Vodka. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

While the thick base is cooling, whisk the remaining 1.25 cups Heavy Cream with the remaining ¼ cup Powdered Erythritol until stiff peaks form.
2.25 cups Heavy Cream, ½ cup Powdered Erythritol
Fold about ¼ of the Whipped Cream into the Chipotle base to lighten it up. Then fold in the remaining whipped cream, working in thirds. The mixture should be well combined and not streaky.
Place the no churn ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer until frozen (approximately 6 hours or overnight).
