Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.75 cup Erythritol sweetener
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 1.5 teaspoons Mint extract
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (keto-friendly)
• 5 drops Green food coloring (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, almond milk, and erythritol. Stir continuously until the erythritol is fully dissolved, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until slightly thickened and pale. Gradually add about a cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously to temper the yolks.

Step 3

Pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, stirring constantly.

Step 4

Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove any cooked egg bits.

Step 6

Stir in the mint extract, vanilla extract, salt, and green food coloring, if using. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thoroughly chilled.

Step 7

Churn the chilled mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Step 8

Fold in the dark chocolate chips.

Step 9

Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm. Serve and enjoy!
