Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the heavy cream, almond milk, and granulated erythritol over medium heat.

Transfer the churned ice cream into a lidded, freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Step 9
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
