Loaded with good fats, this creamy, thick keto chocolate shake is the perfect decadent, drinkable dessert, snack, or even breakfast. It’s also simple to make from just six ingredients if you don’t count the ice cubes. Want more fat macros? Top your keto shake with a dollop of keto-friendly whipped cream.
Ingredients List
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 5 Tbsp Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup granulated allulose sweetener (like RxSugar) or granulated erythritol-based sweetener (like Swerve)
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- sea salt or salt
- 1½ cup ice cubes
Some emerging research suggests that erythritol might increase the risk of blood clots, but more studies are needed to confirm this potential link. Whether you decide to use erythritol or not, remember that all sweeteners should be consumed in moderation, and your keto diet should primarily focus on nutritious whole foods.

Instructions
- In a blender, combine all the ingredients, then pulse a few times to break down the ice cubes. Turn the blender to high and blend until thick and smooth, stopping and scraping down the sides and adding 1 tablespoon of cold water at a time (up to 3 total) if the shake is too thick.
- Divide between 2 glasses and serve with straws and spoons.

Delicious! Curious about the macros, though. Swerve’s nutrition facts say two tsp equals 8 g total carbs and cronometer is saying that with just 2 tsp swerve plus other ingredients that I’d be at 15 g of carbs, not 8 total as it says in your breakdown. Could you let me know which is correct?
Hi Jennifer, thank you for your inquiry. Total carbs versus net carbs are calculated differently. Here’s a link to an article on our website describing the discrepancy you may have noticed.
This is very tasty and I often put in some clean vanilla or chocolate protein powder to increase protein content. I also recommend using non dutched cacao if you want the benefits of the polyphenols and anti oxidants that chocolate offers. The dutching process removes most of these benefits.
Oooo I am going to try with my little ice cream maker!!! Thank you!
I loved this. Usually I worry that a smoothie or shake for breakfast won’t feel like I’ve had a meal and that I’ll be hungry way before lunch, but this was totally filling. I followed the recipe as is ,and it was perfect. Normally, I add more sweetener to shake recipes because they’re not sweet enough for me, but this was just right.
Well, that makes us happy 🙂. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing! I love chocolate and it’s just that. I do add a scoop of chocolate isolate protein powder just for added nutrition. I’m prediabetic and this satisfies my sweet tooth.
Very good. Followed recipe exactly except needed more ice to thicken. It was a bit too chocolaty for me, but my husband thought it was perfect.
Perfect! It was really good and chocolatey. I will try it with my keto protein powder next.
Very good!
Fabulous! Thanks for this recipe and other reviewers who used what they had. I used what I had. 1 cup macadamia nut milk, 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk, 1/4 cup palm coconut sugar, 3 tablespoons cacao (bitter so used way less than recipe), 2 tsp vanilla, 1/4 tsp salt. It was a 10 but thin with 1 1/2 cups ice. Next time will use coconut cream. I am lactose intolerant and keto.
So good! I feel like I am cheating. I eat 2 meals a day Aim for 15-1600 calories a day in a 4 hour window. So when I make this I consume it all and call it a meal. After adding nuts and a raw egg I end up with seven hundreds calories. I wish i could fit an avocado in it!! 🙂
This tasted fantastic! I didn’t end up having cream so I replaced it with almond milk which wasn’t a problem. So good and chocolaty, I will definitely be making this again!
