This refreshing and sweet low carb milkshake has all the delicious minty flavor without the carbs!
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 to 2 cups ice (depending on how frothy you'd like it)
- 4 tablespoons (2 oz.) cream cheese, block variety
- 3-5 tablespoons erythritol, confectioners (adjust according to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pure mint extract (adjust according to desired mintiness)
- 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum, optional (for extra thickening)
- green food coloring, optional
- keto whipped cream for topping, optional
Directions
1
In a blender, combine the heavy cream, ice, cream cheese, erythritol, vanilla extract, mint extract, and food coloring. Process until smooth, about 30-60 seconds. If you prefer a thick keto shake, add a dash of xanthan gum (up to 1/8 teaspoon).
2
Pour the low carb milkshake into one large or two small glasses. If desired, top with homemade whipped cream. Enjoy!
Additional Notes
Don’t be alarmed by the high total carb count of this keto milkshake! Erythritol does not affect blood sugar in the same way that regular carbs do, so we subtracted it from the total carb count. You’ll see that the net carbs are much lower once you remove the sugar alcohols.
