Easy Klondike Bars
I love ice cream! Everyone always asks what I eat in a day and ketogenic ice cream is something I enjoy every darn day! No lie! I usually have a scoop of my Malted Milk Ice Cream, but if you do not have an ice cream maker, these Easy Klondike Bars are a fantastic ice cream treat.
Klondike Bars has a wonderful minty ice cream filling with a chocolate coating that is sure to satisfy. You may wonder why I even allow treats on a ketogenic diet. You want to know why? Food is pleasure and I love food. If I didn’t allow myself to have a little treat I wouldn’t have been able to stick to a ketogenic diet for a decade. I have no problem saying no to desserts filled with sugar because I know when I get home I can enjoy a tasty treat at home that won’t make me feel awful or disappointed with myself. Diet does not have to be deprivation.
Happy Eating!
Easy Klondike Bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream chilled
- 1 cup cream cheese softened (or Kite Hill brand if dairy free)
- ¼ cup Natural Sweetener or equivalent (to desired sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon mint extract
CHOCOLATE COATING:
- 3/4 cup whipping cream or coconut cream: top part of coconut milk
- 1/3 cup Natural Sweetener
- 2 oz unsweetened chocolate finely chopped
- 1 vanilla bean scraped clean (or 1/2 tsp vanilla extract)
GARNISH:
- mint leaves
Instructions
- Place the heavy cream in a chilled bowl and beat until stiff peaks form. Add in the softened cream cheese, natural sweetener and vanilla; combine until smooth.
- Place the mixture into a bendable chocolate mold (I used this muffin pan and placed it on a cookie sheet for stability). Place in freezer until frozen.
- To make chocolate coating, place the cream, chopped chocolate and natural sweetener in a double boiler or in a heat safe bowl over simmering water. Heat on low heat while stirring just until chocolate melts. Remove from heat. Add in the vanilla bean seeds.
- Dip frozen ice cream bites into chocolate, return to wax paper, and place in freezer to set.
What is your favorite unsweetened chocolate to use!?

Looks good and easy, Maria – could not find coconut in the recipe?
No. Klondike bars are peppermint ice cream…
Is there a different substitution for cramps cheese? I hate the flavor, texture, and smell. It’s hard finding keto dessert recipes that don’t call for it. TIA!
She’s talking about #4 which says coconut~ confused me too 🙂
Sorry. All fixed;)
Maria Emmerich, is there a dairy free substitute for the heavy whipping crean?
I would do unsweetened cashew or coconut milk mixed with kite hill cream cheese.
Is the whipping cream in the coating the same thing as the heavy cream in the ice cream? I thought heavy cream was whipping cream.
You can use either.
I left out the mint added extra vanilla and chopped almonds before I dipped them
