Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
• 0.75 cup Granulated erythritol sweetener
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Low carb thickener (like xanthan gum)

Directions

Step 1

Start by rinsing the fresh blueberries under cold water. Once cleaned, place them in a medium saucepan.

Step 2

Add 0.25 cup of the granulated erythritol sweetener and the lemon juice to the saucepan with the blueberries.

Step 3

Heat the mixture over medium heat, gently stirring to combine. As the blueberries start to soften, mash them slightly with a fork or potato masher to release their juices.

Step 4

Allow the blueberry mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 5

In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, the remaining 0.5 cup of erythritol, vanilla extract, and low carb thickener.

Step 6

Once the blueberry mixture is cooled, gently fold it into the cream mixture. Ensure the mixture is well combined for even flavor distribution.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20 minutes until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Step 8

For firmer ice cream, transfer the churned mixture into an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2 to 3 hours or until firm.

Step 9

Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.

Step 10

Serve the blueberry ice cream in bowls or cones and enjoy!
