In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, almond milk, and half of the granulated low-carb sweetener.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the mixture is steaming but not boiling.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the remaining sweetener until combined and slightly thickened.
Gradually add about a cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, continuing to whisk.
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon (around 170°F/77°C on an instant-read thermometer).
Remove from heat and stir in the natural hazelnut extract, vanilla extract, and salt.
Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any cooked egg bits.
Allow the custard to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Once chilled, pour the custard into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the chopped roasted hazelnuts.
Transfer the glace noisette to a lidded container and freeze for another 2 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
Serve garnished with additional chopped hazelnuts or a sprinkle of low-carb chocolate shavings, if desired.
