Cacao Tea Ice Cream
Most keto ice creams freeze rock hard. The allulose in this keeps the ice cream soft and has no aftertaste. Cacao Tea is an amazing product made from the husk of the cacao plant, which still has amazing chocolate taste but none of the caffeine. It is excellent as a tea or used for infusions, such as ice creams, sorbets, or other custards. It is a more delicate chocolate taste so pairs well with lighter flavors.
