Ingredients

• 13.5 oz Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Erythritol
• 1 tablespoon Pure vanilla extract
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the coconut milk, heavy cream, and erythritol. Whisk together until thoroughly combined.

Step 2

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure the erythritol fully dissolves. Do not allow the mixture to boil.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks.

Step 4

Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Step 5

Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk, continuing to whisk until smooth.

Step 6

Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170-175°F or 77-79°C).

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 8

Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl to remove any lumps or curdled egg bits.

Step 9

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until completely cold.

Step 10

Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.

Step 11

Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Step 12

Scoop and serve your Heart-Healthy Keto Vanilla Ice Cream as desired. Enjoy!
