Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and almond milk. Heat the mixture until it is steaming but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the erythritol sweetener, vanilla extract, egg yolks, and salt until well combined and creamy.
Step 3
Slowly pour a small amount of the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
Step 4
Once tempered, gradually add the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream, continuing to whisk over medium heat.
Step 5
Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. Then, transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap (make sure the plastic wrap touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until completely chilled.
Step 7
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 8
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
