Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 4 oz Low-fat cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol sweetener
- 2 tsp Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp Xanthan gum
- 0.25 tsp Sea salt
- 4 cups Ice (for churning)
Directions
Step 1
In a high-powered blender, combine unsweetened almond milk, softened low-fat cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered erythritol, pure vanilla extract, xanthan gum, and sea salt.
Step 2
Blend the mixture on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until completely smooth and slightly thickened.
Step 3
Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until it is completely cold. This step is very important for achieving a creamy texture.
Step 4
Once chilled, pour the ice cream mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes 20-30 minutes.
Step 5
As the ice cream churns, prepare a freezer-safe container to store the finished ice cream.
Step 6
After churning, the ice cream will have a soft-serve consistency. Transfer it into the prepared container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Cover the container with an airtight lid or plastic wrap and freeze for 2-4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm enough to scoop.
Step 8
Before serving, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop and enjoy your decadent low carb reduced fat vanilla ice cream!
