Growing up we always had ice cream in the house. Always. I am the oldest of four kids and half of us would eat ice cream with chocolate syrup and the other half would eat their ice cream in the form of a float.

Can you guess which one I was? Yep, I was firmly in the chocolate syrup camp and if it was some crazy special occasion and we had a jar of that microwavable hot chocolate – look out! I would go nuts!

Now that I have my own home, ice cream is a rare occurrence. Not because my love for a good chocolatey sundae has changed, but because life is an ongoing battle between between me and my skinny jeans. 🙂 the struggle, am I right?

Fortunately, I have found some lighter, healthier ways to satisfy my sweet tooth. This skinny Chocolate Covered Cherry Sundae is a prime example! This might look like a decadent dessert but it is actually packed with Greek yogurt and fruit!

How to make low carb Chocolate sauce

I have had a lot of success with making keto chocolate sauce using Lily’s Sugar Free Chocolate Chips and coconut oil as my base. The sauce still comes out creamy and delicious, but better because it is low carb!

How to make Homemade Frozen Yogurt

Here is how we make this delectable treat! To make the frozen yogurt I use a few basic ingredients such as Greek yogurt, fruit and sweetener. Seriously! It is that easy!

First, combine the frozen cherries, sweetener, Greek yogurt and milk in a blender or food processor. Blend until your mixture is completely smooth. Place into a small container and freeze for at least two hours.

To make the chocolate sauce, just place your chocolate chips and coconut oil into a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30 second increments until the mixture is smooth. Stir the mixture in between every 30 seconds. To make sundaes, just scoop your ice cream and add chocolate sauce!

You can eat it right away and it will be that great soft serve consistency, or you can freeze it so it gets firm and it it like regular ice cream. Either way is totally delicious! I actually prefer the soft serve texture, but I like to make a double batch and keep a small container in the freezer for those little evening snacks where I just need something a little sweet!

Can I use another fruit for keto Frozen Yogurt?

Of course! If you aren’t a fan of cherries, you can substitute in any fruit you prefer. This recipe is so easy to customize to your personal preferences. Some options that I think would be delicious are:

  • Strawberry
  • Coconut
  • Raspberry
  • Blackberry
  • Mango
  • Blueberry
