Low Carb Chunkey Monkey

     I have not posted in awhile as I have not had the time or resources to experiment with foods I can no longer eat due to low carb dieting. Now I have returned with a low carb recipe and it's ice-cream!

Yeilds: 5 cups

There are two parts to this recipe, the first is a low carb magic shell:
(This is just a low carb/sugar free version of the magic shell found here.)

You will need:
  1/2 cup Coconut Oil (measured in a solid form)
  1 1/4 cup Unsweetened chocolate chunks/chips (I used blocks of baker's chocolate)
   Sweetener to taste

- Put all ingredients in a bowl.
- Alternate microwaving and stirring the mix until smooth.
- Store it in the fridge to top ice-cream, or for the next step in this recipe.


 The second part is the ice-cream:

You will need:
   2 cups Heavy cream (as low a carb count as you can find)
   1 cup Almond milk
   2 tsp Sugar free Banana syrup (or to taste)
   1 tsp Sugar free White chocolate syrup (or to taste)
   Possibly a little more sweetener to taste (I added 1/8 cup splenda)

Later you might want:
    Macadamia nuts or other nut.

- Mix all ingredients in a bowl, and put in an ice-cream maker. After about 15 minutes it will probably be done.
- Fold in any nuts you might want.
- Drizzle the magic shell over the ice-cream, then break it and fold the chunks in. Repeat until there is enough chocolate to suit you.
- Place in freezer until the ice-cream is cold enough for you.

Notes:
- It did take a second for the magic shell to work as I used it still slightly hot, so don't freak out if that happens.
- If you can't find sugar free flavoring in your area, check out this site.
- Do not put the ice-cream into the freezer in the bowl of the ice-cream maker. It will freeze solid and get stuck. Find another bowl.

I have to say I'm excited about this as I have wanted ice-cream since going on this diet... and this isn't even an indulgent recipe. :)
