In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of fresh blueberries, 1/4 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of sweetener. Stir occasionally until the mixture begins to boil and the blueberries start to burst, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat and simmer for another 10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let the blueberry sauce cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of heavy whipping cream, 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, and 0.5 cup of erythritol. Whisk together until the sweetener dissolves.
Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, 0.5 teaspoon of xanthan gum, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt to the cream mixture. Whisk thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
If you have an ice cream maker, pour the cream mixture into the machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20 minutes.
Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, gently fold in the cooled blueberry sauce to create swirls. Do not fully mix to retain the swirl effect.
Transfer the ice cream into a lidded, airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the cream mixture into a shallow container and freeze for 1 hour. Remove from freezer, stir to incorporate air, and smooth out any ice crystals. Repeat this every 30 minutes until the ice cream reaches your desired consistency, then swirl in the blueberry sauce.
