Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 0.5 cup Hazelnut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.25 cup Chopped toasted hazelnuts
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and almond milk. Heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
Whisk in the erythritol sweetener, hazelnut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until the sweetener is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Sprinkle the xanthan gum into the mixture and whisk continuously to avoid clumping. Continue to whisk until the mixture begins to thicken slightly.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.
Step 5
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 6
Add the chopped toasted hazelnuts to the ice cream during the last 5 minutes of churning, allowing them to be evenly distributed.
Step 7
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm before serving.
Step 8
Scoop and enjoy your creamy low carb hazelnut ice cream!
