Two Spoons Gluten-Free Keto-Friendly Ice Cream Is Reinventing The Dessert Game

If you love ice cream anywhere near as much as I do, then you were pretty much ready to take a trip to California in order to try Two Spoons ice cream.

If you live with celiac disease like I do, then you know how hard it is to find a good gluten-free ice cream on the market. It's even harder to find one that isn't packed to the brim with artificial sugars and fake flavors that make you feel worse when your spoon hits the bottom of the pint.

So when I heard that there was a new ice cream that was gluten-free, sugar-free, and high-protein, I knew I had to give it a shot!

I recognize that taste is subjective, so before I get into how I felt about the ice cream, I wanted to share a little bit about what prompted me to try it in the first place. First, it's gluten-free. I wouldn't be able to eat it if it weren't, so that puts a big green check in the column. Secondly, each container has around 30 grams of protein per serving. In a world where it is difficult, not to mention expensive, to meet our daily protein goals, this was another huge win for me.

In addition, this ice cream also contains no sugar or sugar alcohols, making it a good option for those on a low-carb or ketogenic diet. The ice cream is sweetened with allulose, which is an all-natural sweetener found in figs and maple syrup. Allulose may trigger the release of GLP-1, a hormone that plays a role in regulating appetite, blood sugar, and weight. All of that sounds good to me!

Right now, their ice cream comes in four flavors: Rocky Road, Strawberries & Cream, Caramel Swirl, and Fudgy Brownie. I was advised to start with Rocky Road, and so I did!

I was advised to try this flavor first, and I can understand why! I don't think that I've ever had an ice cream that had marshmallow swirls that were as creamy as this! This one definitely had the most texture: my pint was teeming with crushed almonds, chocolate fudge chunks, and ribbons of marshmallow.

If you like mix-ins and like "digging" through your ice cream to make the most out of each bite, then you will probably enjoy this pint. Just be warned that it will probably disappear faster than you think it will! I got so caught up digging through the pint for a particularly large chocolate chunk that I didn't realize I had already eaten over half the container. Oops.

Best Served: Eaten on its own or a large scoop on top of a brownie, with an additional drizzle of chocolate sauce.

The second flavor that I tried was the caramel swirl, and I was immediately pleased to see the swirls of caramel threaded through the top of the ice cream. You know those other brands that say they have a swirl but only contain one or two ribbons near the bottom? This is not that. There is a lot of caramel woven throughout, enough to get some with each spoonful.

The lack of chunky mix-ins in this pint really allowed me to test the texture of the ice cream. It is a lot denser than most of the other sugar-free ice creams on the market, which is a good thing! I feel like this is honestly the closest that you will get to "regular" ice cream, so if you have someone who is notoriously "picky" about eating "healthy" ice cream, I'd have them try this. I don't think they'd notice a difference!

Best Served: Scooped onto a warm slice of apple pie.

I wasn't sure what to expect from the strawberries and cream, but it definitely brought the cream! Out of all four flavors, this was definitely the creamiest of the bunch. The most interesting bit about this ice cream was the strawberry sauce. If you were expecting chunks of strawberry, this is not that. Instead, this is a gelatinous swirl of strawberry that, if we're being honest, got a bit watery at times, that stood out from the melting ice cream. It's definitely different from any other strawberry ice cream I've tried so far!

Best Served: On top of a warm, fudgy brownie or alongside a slice of chocolate cake.

This flavor was definitely the most chocolate-rich of the batch. The base flavor seemed to have more chocolate than the rocky road, or maybe it only tasted that way due to the lack of mix-ins. I found myself digging for a brownie piece, only finding a few wayward nuggets here and there. This ice cream also took the longest to melt, likely due to the stabilizing quality of the chocolate and the lack of mix-ins.

This led me to perform my own experiment to see how long it took each ice cream to melt when they were approximately halfway full. The strawberries and cream and caramel swirl melted the fastest, followed closely by the rocky road. The fudgy brownie took a solid seven minutes more to develop that same melty quality, making it the perfect ice cream to scoop onto a cone on a hot summer day!

Best Served: Eaten on its own or alongside a plate of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies for those feeling extra indulgent.

It's a general rule of thumb not to mix business and friendship, but it seems to have worked out for Rich Ferreira and Gabe Zichermann, who did just that. Disappointed with the "healthy" ice cream flavors on the market, they decided to create an ice cream that would help adults with their health management plan... and taste pretty good to kids, too!

“We spent a full year just working on our Rocky Road, a truly unique flavor in this category,” Ferreira told The Blast. “It’s a decadent chocolate ice cream swirled with super fudgy brownies, toasted nuts, and tons of our original marshmallow fluff. The whole thing is gluten-free and packs 30g of protein. We had to test thousands of batches to get it right. We broke a few machines in the process, but hey — if it’s not full of fluff, is it even Rocky Road?”

“We're bringing back nostalgic American classics made better,” Zichermann added. “We grew up loving ice cream but want a healthier option without compromise. I’ve lost weight and improved my health on Ozempic and Wegovy. Knowing Two Spoons has the right macros and is just as satisfying as other brands — that’s a win for us, our families, retailers, and our country. GLP-1s are the future, and we’re meeting this moment.”
