Ingredients
- 1 cup Ube powder
- 2 cups Unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granular erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ube extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the ube powder and water. Stir thoroughly to rehydrate the powder, then heat over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes until it forms a smooth ube paste. Set aside to cool.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, heavy cream, erythritol, vanilla extract, ube extract, and salt until the sweetener is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Fold the cooled ube paste into the liquid mixture, stirring well to incorporate it evenly. Adjust the color and flavor by adding more ube extract if desired.
Step 4
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions to churn until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 5
Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container. Press a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Step 6
Freeze the ice cream for 2-4 hours or until firm. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping and serving.
