Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Ube powder
• 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Erythritol sweetener (powdered)
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 drops Purple food coloring (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the ube powder and almond milk over medium heat until well combined and warmed through. Avoid boiling.

Step 2

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and erythritol sweetener until the mixture is pale and creamy.

Step 3

Slowly pour a small amount of the warm ube milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling. Repeat until about half the ube mixture is incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining ube milk.

Step 5

Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, until it thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. This should take about 10 minutes. Be careful not to overheat or scramble the eggs.

Step 6

Once thickened, remove from heat and whisk in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and purple food coloring (if using).

Step 7

Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove any lumps. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely chilled.

Step 8

Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This should take about 20-25 minutes to reach a soft-serve consistency.

Step 9

Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.

Step 10

Scoop, serve, and enjoy this creamy keto-friendly ube ice cream!
