Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.75 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 5 Egg yolks
- 0.5 cup Amarena cherries in syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, unsweetened almond milk, half of the erythritol sweetener, and salt. Stir over medium heat until warm, but not boiling.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the remaining erythritol until smooth and pale in color.
Step 3
Slowly drizzle a small amount of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously to temper the eggs. Continue adding the warm mixture until about half is incorporated.
Step 4
Pour the tempered yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Continue to cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and xanthan gum. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Step 6
Once cooled, transfer the custard mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 7
While the ice cream is churning, chop the amarena cherries into small pieces. Gently fold the cherries and a swirl of their syrup into the prepared ice cream.
Step 8
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
Step 9
Serve ice cream in bowls or cones and enjoy your low-carb indulgence!
