Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
• 0.5 cup Erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
• 1 cup Frozen cherries (pitted and stemmed)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 4 large Egg yolks

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and almond milk. Heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to steam (do not let it boil).

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are slightly thickened and pale in color.

Step 3

To temper the eggs, slowly add about 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Once combined, pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream.

Step 4

Add the erythritol and salt to the saucepan. Stir continuously and cook over low heat until the mixture thickens slightly and can coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until it is completely cold.

Step 7

While the mixture is chilling, chop the frozen cherries into small pieces.

Step 8

Once the ice cream base is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 9

About 5 minutes before the ice cream is done churning, add the chopped cherries to incorporate them evenly throughout the ice cream.

Step 10

Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded, freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until it reaches your desired firmness.

Step 11

Serve the cherry ice cream in bowls and enjoy!
