The best no added sugar chocolate ice cream recipes from our blog
These recipes are all freezer-friendly, summer-friendly and chocolate-craving friendly. Some are super simple. Some feel more like dessert. All of them are built around better ingredients and real chocolate flavour.
1. Vanilla Ice Cream Bonbons
These Vanilla Ice Cream Bonbons are small, creamy and very snackable. Think frozen vanilla bites with a chocolatey finish. Perfect when we want something sweet but not too heavy.
They are a good freezer option for after dinner, coffee breaks or those “just one little thing” moments. Which, let’s be honest, often become two little things. Still fine.
2. Clean Ice Cream Waffle by @raquel.ketoymas
The Ice Cream Waffle is for the days when a scoop is not enough. This recipe uses a homemade waffle with cocoa butter, almond flour and Funky Fat Dark Choc, then fills it with ice cream.
It feels like a proper dessert but still fits the no added sugar chocolate mood. A little crunchy, a little creamy and very much worth the freezer space.
3. No Added Sugar Strawberry Ice Cream by @justsimonaz
For something fresher, the Strawberry Ice Cream is the one. It brings that fruity summer feeling while still staying in the clean, low sugar dessert lane.
This is the recipe to make when we want something lighter than chocolate-on-chocolate, but still want it to feel like a treat. Strawberry and chocolate will always understand the assignment.
4. Ferrero Rocher-Style Ice Cream by @raquel.ketoymas
The Ferrero Rocher-Style Ice Cream is rich, nutty and made for hazelnut lovers. It combines cream, almond milk, erythritol, homemade hazelnut cream and Funky Fat chocolate.
This one is all about that chocolate-hazelnut flavour without the added sugar overload. It feels indulgent, but in a way that still makes sense for smart snacking.
5. Keto-Friendly Chocolate Ice Cream by @delicamara
The Keto-Friendly Chocolate Ice Cream is the one recipe where we will say it out loud. It is creamy, chocolatey and made with white chocolate inside plus a crunchy dark chocolate coating outside.
This recipe uses mascarpone, whipped cream, Funky Fat White Choc and Funky Fat Dark Choc. Translation: creamy centre, chocolate shell, freezer joy.
6. No Added Sugar Chocolate Protein Ice Cream by @justsimonaz
If we want something creamy with a little more staying power, the Chocolate Protein Ice Cream is a brilliant option. It uses cottage cheese, sweetener, vanilla and chopped Funky Fat Dark Choc.
It can be made in an ice cream maker or frozen and stirred by hand. Either way, it is rich, simple and great for days when we want dessert to feel a little more functional.
7. No Added Sugar Choco Popsicles by @justsimonaz
The Choco Popsicles are made for easy summer snacking. No scooping. No waiting. Just open the freezer and let the day improve immediately.
Popsicles are perfect when we want a portion-friendly chocolate treat. They are also dangerously convenient, which is exactly why we love them.
8. Double Chocolate Clean Popsicles
For the proper chocolate fans, the Double Chocolate Popsicles bring the big chocolate energy. Double chocolate is never subtle, and that is the point.
These are the ones to make when the craving is not asking politely. A clean frozen treat, but still rich enough to feel like dessert.
How to choose the right recipe
Not every summer craving is the same. Sometimes we want creamy. Sometimes fruity. Sometimes crunchy. Sometimes the only acceptable answer is double chocolate.
- For small bites: choose the Vanilla Ice Cream Bonbons.
- For dessert energy: choose the Ice Cream Waffle.
- For something fresh: choose the Strawberry Ice Cream.
- For hazelnut lovers: choose the Ferrero Rocher-Style Ice Cream.
- For creamy chocolate: choose the Chocolate Ice Cream.
- For protein: choose the Chocolate Protein Ice Cream.
- For easy freezer snacks: choose the Choco Popsicles.
- For full chocolate mode: choose the Double Chocolate Popsicles.
Which Funky Fat chocolate should we use?
Funky Fat Dark Choc works beautifully when we want a deep cacao flavour or a crunchy chocolate coating. It is ideal for popsicles, 'magnums', chocolate shells and richer ice cream recipes.
Funky Fat White Choc with Bourbon Vanilla gives a softer, creamier flavour. It is perfect for vanilla-style bonbons, creamy centres and recipes that need a little extra smoothness.
For variety, the Funky Fat Variety Pack is the easiest way to play with different flavours in one freezer-prep session. Dark, white, hazelnut, coconut, milk. Summer dessert planning, but make it fun.
Common homemade ice cream mistakes
Homemade ice cream is simple, but a few small things make the texture better.
- Using watery ingredients: too much water can make ice cream icy instead of creamy.
- Skipping the stir: no ice cream maker? Stir during freezing for a smoother texture.
- Chopping chocolate too big: smaller pieces give better bites throughout.
- Forgetting the shell: a chocolate coating instantly makes a recipe feel more special.
And one more: make more than one recipe. The freezer has room. Our summer cravings have range.
