Healthy Reese’s Blast Ice Cream (Keto & Vegan)

The Summer of Homemade Keto Ice Cream

All summer long I’m gonna churn out new flavors of ice cream like crazy! (because #texasheat and because YUM). Are you guys loving the new flavors I’m sharing each week? They just keep getting better, haha!

It started with classic vanilla, then mint chip and now possibly my favorite flavor EVER: Reese’s Blast!! YES, like the blast from SONIC (but 100000x healthier) 🙂

Copycat Reese’s Blast from Sonic

Darn it, Sonic! Why do you have to have the most DELICIOUS treats? My all time favorite thing from Sonic is a Reese’s Blast. Peanut butter cups blended into ice cream. UGh it’s so good.

But it also makes me feel like actual GARBAGE after I eat it. Sugar bombs make me ill.

I just KNEW I had to recreate a healthy version of my favorite dessert. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. It’s totally possible when you use my Healthy homemade Reese’s recipe!!

My Reese’s Blast has ZERO dairy, zero SUGAR, and zero Garbage ingredients!!! 100% natural, plant-based ice cream filled with protein, fiber and antioxidants. That tastes completely SINFUL. But it’s NOT. 

I’M HAVING A HARD TIME NOT TYPING IN ALL CAPS lol. I’m just too excited about this ice cream. It is SO GOOD. The chunks of peanut butter cups in every delicious bite absolutely blow me away! 

Why You Need an Ice Cream Maker

If you don’t have an ice cream maker yet, go ahead and snag this one from Amazon! I absolutely LOVE mine.

1. You won’t believe how EASY and delicious it is to make your own ice cream at home (where YOU control the ingredients!)
2. Have you seen the MILE long list of stuff they put in store-bought ice cream these days?! All kinds of emulsifiers, gums, preservatives, thickeners, and “flavors” that could literally be a hundred different things. No thank you!

I thought I was doing good by getting the dairy-free Ben & Jerry’s, but then when I found out what was actually IN it I was thoroughly disappointed. So.many.ingredients.

Not to mention the SUGAR. There isn’t a whole-foods based, dairy-free, SUGAR-FREE ice cream even on the shelves that I know of! Especially that’s keto, vegan (and Paleo if you use almond butter)

You can’t get this in a store. You’ve gotta make it yourself. And it’s so worth it!

For Peanut Butter Lovers

If you remember from my previous ice cream recipes, I have been using almond butter + pure stevia instead of sugar. But here I really wanted to amp up the peanut butter flavor, so you guessed it– peanut butter!

Now I totally could’ve kept this as peanut butter ice cream and been completely satisfied. But why not make it even BETTER?! Adding in the peanut butter cups is absolute HEAVEN.

Total Time: 2 hours 11 minutes

Servings: 5 servings

Ingredients

Peanut Butter Ice Cream

• 1 13.7 oz can coconut milk - full fat
• Heaping 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
• 2 Tbs vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp pure stevia powder - or 1/4 c powdered monkfruit or coconut sugar. see notes

Reese's (Peanut Butter Filling)

• 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
• 2 Tbs coconut flour
• 1 tsp vanilla
• Dash of pure stevia - or powdered monkfruit or coconut sugar
• Dash of pink salt

Reese's (Chocolate Coating)

• 2 oz dark chocolate - sugar-free for Keto. *see notes for homemade chocolate
• 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

To make the Reese's:

• Line a mini muffin pan with 9 wrappers. Mix together all the filling ingredients in a small bowl. Add just enough coconut flour to form a dough. Taste and adjust for sweetness. Scoop into rounded 1/2 Tbs balls. Set aside while you melt the chocolate.
• Melt together dark chocolate and coconut oil gently in the microwave (30 sec).
• Add 1/2 tsp melted chocolate to the bottom of each wrapper. Swirl the chocolate by tilting the pan to coat the sides. Freeze for 5 minutes to set.
• Add a pb ball to the center of each wrapper. Pour chocolate on top to cover.
  
• Freeze for 15 minutes to set. (and keep frozen while you make the ice cream.) Chop 5 Reese's into small chunks.
  

To make the ice cream:

• (Remember to place ice cream bowl in freezer for 24 hours or until completely solid.)
• Blend all ingredients in a small blender. Taste and adjust if needed.
• Chill mixture. Place blender jar in freezer for 1 hour prior to churning so it gets very cold, but not frozen.
• Pour mixture into ice cream maker and churn for about 10 minutes (or until thickened to soft serve consistency). Throw in a couple of chopped Reese's during the last 2 minutes of churning, if you like.
  
• Transfer ice cream to a loaf pan or shallow dish. Sprinkle 4 chopped Reese's on top. Freeze 1 hour or until firm.
  
• *Important* Leave ice cream on the counter 5-10 minutes to soften. Scoop & enjoy with more chopped Reese's sprinkled on top (because yum)! 🙂

Thai Kitchen Coconut Milk (always buy FULL FAT. The low fat is watered down and will be icy) Buying in bulk on Amazon makes it cheaper 😉

Bulk Supplements Pure Stevia Powder - I love this brand because it's ONE ingredient and it does not have a strong aftertaste or weird metallic taste. Just pure natural sweetness. Yum.

Organic Peanut Butter from ALDI.  It's just peanuts & salt 🙂 And less than $4 a jar

Mexican Vanilla: https://amzn.to/2vinWYh for Incredible flavor!

To make homemade chocolate coating: Mix together

2 Tbs melted coconut oil

1 1/2 Tbs MCT oil or canned coconut milk

1 1/2 Tbs cacao

Pinch of pure stevia powder or powdered monkfruit

1/2 tsp vanilla

Dash of salt

 

Nutrition Info For one serving of pb ice cream: 229 cal, 20g fat, 5g carbs - 2g fiber = 3g net carbs, 5g protein (based on 5 servings, approximately 1/2 cup)

 

For 1 Reese's Cup: 119 cal, 11g fat, 4g carbs - 2g fiber = 2g net carbs, 3g protein

To store:  Keep frozen & wrapped in cling wrap to prevent freezer burn. Should be good at least 1-2 months in the freezer. But the texture is best the same day it's freshly churned.

Sweetener swap: You may use any DRY sweetener you like -- the equivalent of 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, such as powdered monkfruit, erythritol or coconut sugar (use a blender to make homemade powdered sweetener). Taste and adjust as needed.
Liquid sweeteners are not recommended, as they usually make the mixture too icy.
