Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 3/4 cup erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup hazelnut butter
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup chopped roasted hazelnuts
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, almond milk, and erythritol. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it starts to steam, stirring occasionally. Do not let it boil.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks until smooth. Gradually add about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
Step 3
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Stir constantly over low heat until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 4
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, hazelnut butter, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any cooked egg bits.
Step 6
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thoroughly chilled.
Step 7
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes.
Step 8
During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the chopped roasted hazelnuts for extra texture.
Step 9
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
