Adam Moretti’s Sweet Switch-Up: Why This Ice Cream Exists
Adam Moretti was once a gelato guy—the kind who wouldn’t dream of skipping dessert. But when he faced a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis, everything changed. No more sugar, no more late-night scoops. Adam turned his passion into a purpose: creating indulgent desserts that fit a keto lifestyle. One night, craving mango, he whipped up a 3-ingredient batch with coconut cream, ripe mango, and monk fruit. It was rich, fruity, and guilt-free. That discovery launched his now-beloved line of keto-friendly recipes, with this mango ice cream still at the top of his list.
Keto mango ice cream hits all the right notes: creamy, tropical, and only about 4–6 grams of net carbs per serving. And yes, it scoops like the real thing. With the right blend of ingredients, you won’t miss the sugar—or the carb crash.
So, whether you’re looking for a fresh summer scoop or a smart sweet fix, this dessert delivers.
What Makes Keto Mango Ice Cream Work?
Smart Ingredient Swaps Traditional mango ice cream is loaded with sugar and full-fat milk, often totaling 25–30 grams of carbs per serving. But a keto version uses just mango, coconut cream, and a keto-friendly sweetener like allulose or monk fruit. Coconut cream keeps it lusciously thick while monk fruit adds a clean sweetness without a bitter aftertaste.
Sweetener Strategy Erythritol is popular, but it may cause digestive issues for some. Allulose is a top pick here: it melts cleanly and doesn’t raise blood sugar. Monk fruit extract offers a neutral flavor and pairs beautifully with mango. Avoid xylitol if you’re serving pets—it’s toxic to dogs.
