Long story short, these orange creamsicles require a whopping two ingredients…are you ready for it, are you ready for it??
Full-Fat Canned Coconut Milk: Keeps the creamsicle ultra creamy without the use of dairy! You can replace the full-fat canned coconut milk with coconut cream. You can get away with using light canned coconut milk for a version that’s lower in fat, but note that the creamsicles will be slightly icy.
Orange Juice Concentrate: Gives the tangy, sweet orange flavor without adding icy texture to the creamsicle. If you aren’t familiar with orange juice concentrate, you can find it in the freezer section of your grocery store next to all the other concentrate frozen juices.
That.
Is.
It.

If you’ve been around The Roasted Root for a few years, you may remember my Dairy-Free Fudgesicles , 4-Ingredient Paleo Avocado Chocolate Mousse. or my Vegan Key Lime Popsicles. What these desserts have in common is they are all made with the same all-start ingredient: Avocados!
While it may seem strange to make a dessert using avocados, I pinky promise you, avocados make an incredibly mouth-watering creamy chilled or frozen treat. In addition to how tasty the result turns out, I love knowing the treat contains healthy fats from the California avocado and is made using cleaner ingredients than store-bought ice cream.
When combined with full-fat coconut milk, cocoa powder, and a liquid sweetener, California avocados make a mean chocolate ice cream!
Can you taste the avocado in this keto chocolate ice cream? Not in the slightest! Because avocados have such subtle flavor, they are easily masked by bolder flavors like cocoa. You can’t tell this ice cream is dairy-free! It turns out so creamy and custardy with a similar consistency to gelato.
For this particular recipe, we’re going the keto route using a sugar-free liquid sweetener to keep the recipe low-carb. There are plenty of options for sweeteners, so be sure to read the notes below!
