My mother gave this one her stamp of approval. We share a common love of Moosetracks ice cream. I told you it’s hereditary.

Single-Serve Horsetracks Ice Cream
THM:S, Low-carb, Sugar free, Gluten free - my healthy version of Moosetracks ice cream!
Ingredients
Ice Cream:
- 1 cup crushed ice
- ⅓ cup cottage cheese
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ½-1 scoop protein powder
- Rounded ¼ tsp. glucomannan
- Dash of salt
- 3 doonks of THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder (a doonk is 1/32 tsp.)
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- -
- Natural peanut butter (1-2 T)
- -
Chocolate:
- 1 T refined coconut oil, melted
- 1-1½ tsp. cocoa powder, depending on how dark you like your chocolate
- ½ tsp. THM Gentle Sweet *or* ½ tsp. Truvia, ground in a coffee grinder *or* 1 doonk THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder, to taste
Instructions
- Mix together the chocolate ingredients in a small bowl.
- Blend the ice cream ingredients together in a high-powered blender (I use my handy Ninja single-serving cups). If you need to add a little more almond milk to get it to blend smoothly, do so, but you'll need to freeze the ice cream longer to firm up. Put the ice cream in a freezer-safe bowl and swirl in the peanut butter and chocolate mixture. Freeze for 40 minutes to an hour, stirring twice within the first half hour for optimum consistency. Serve once desired texture is reached. Eat it by yourself for breakfast or a snack, or use it as a dessert for 2-3 people (or one person if you have a Briana-sized ice cream appetite).
Notes
Feel free to add some heavy whipping cream to this recipe in place of some of the almond milk for a richer treat.

I want to make this but only have vanilla protein. Can I omit stevia if using this?,
It all depends on how sweet your protein powder is. 🙂 Use the protein powder, then sweeten to taste with your preferred sweetener.
Instead of freezing, could you do this in the Cuisinart ice cream maker?
I’m sure you could, but if you’re getting out the ice cream maker I’d just make this recipe that’s formulated for it and freeze the rest for later. 🙂 You’ll get a better texture than using this single-serve recipe with the ice in it. Here’s the full size recipe >> https://www.briana-thomas.com/mock-moosetracks-ice-cream-s/
I was so happy to find this recipe. I used the base up to the vanilla, and then added a few fresh strawberries.
It was just delicious. Thank you!!
Do you ever use coconut milk instead of almond milk in your ice cream recipes? I really love so many of them but always narrow in on the almond milk flavor that I don’t really care for.
Hi Tara! I’ve tried using carton coconut milk in place of almond milk in ice cream before but really didn’t care for the taste and texture. I did use a combination of *canned* coconut milk and carton almond milk in this dairy-free ice cream recipe, though >> https://www.briana-thomas.com/dairy-free-ice-cream/
You’re always welcome to experiment with substitutions! Maybe try using light canned coconut milk in place of the almond milk in my recipes? Using canned coconut milk in place of the carton almond milk will give you a higher calorie, creamier ice cream.
Loved this ice cream! My husband doesn’t eat chocolate, so I never made the ice cream maker version. I was so happy to find this in my inbix today. I actually used 1 T of peanut butter and 1T of ground toasted coconut I have in my freezer. I think that’s almost a Brianafinger single serve?
Totally! Great tweaks!
Could I substitute collagen for the protein powder?
I’ve never used collagen so I’m not sure how they compare. I’m guessing it would work?
I can’t use gluccie. Can I just leave it out, and how much of a difference will it make?
The gluccie acts as a thickener and makes this ice cream more creamy (which is important because it’s made up largely of ice or almond milk). I recommend substituting it with xanthan gum if you can. If you can’t have either, add a few tablespoons of cream.
Briana, would it be equal parts xantham gum? That’s what I have on hand.
Thanks!
Yes. 🙂
I can’t seem to find the carb content for this ice cream – can anyone help?
The healthy eating lifestyle I follow focuses on not having to count, which is really nice and freeing! You can find more about it here: https://www.briana-thomas.com/starting-trim-healthy-mama/
Feel free to calculate the carb count using an online app like MyFitnessPal, but be aware that such counters sometimes don’t know how to correctly calculate sugar alcohols.
Have you made this with a small counter top size ice cream freezer? Just wondered if the results would be similar and would it be a bit quicker? Like if you NEED ice cream really bad!! 🙂
I actually have a more traditional Mock Moosetracks ice cream recipe for an ice cream freezer. 🙂 You can check it out here: https://www.briana-thomas.com/mock-moosetracks-ice-cream-s/
The single-serve version would probably work in an ice cream maker as well, but the recipe I linked here will probably give you a more authentic ice-creamy result. 🙂
This is one of my favorite THM recipes. I love moose tracks. Thanks so much for the recipe!!
This makes me sooo happy!!!
oh so yummy! thank you 🙂
Delicious!
Delicious!
My five year old grandson and I LOVED this!
Easy to make with my NutriBullet and Cuisinart Ice Cream Freezer!
I made this a few weeks ago and it’s by far my favorite thm recipe! I have a batch in the freezer now. The ice cream comes out of my ninja so creamy and reminds me of custard. There are lots of ways this can be modified for other flavors but I just keep going to the pb and chocolate mix. So good! Thanks for the recipe and keep up the great work on the blog!
I just made your icecream and added the natural pb(powdered) also added maple extract..love,love icecream!!!!!!!!!! I will be eating it later and report back to you! =)
Awesome! Let me know how it turns out.
