Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.75 cup Erythritol (or preferred sugar substitute)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 4 Egg yolks
• 0.5 cup Amarena cherries (sugar-free)
• 2 tablespoons Cherry juice from Amarena cherries

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and erythritol. Place over medium heat and stir occasionally until the mixture begins to steam, but do not let it boil.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Slowly add about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Step 3

Gradually pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, stirring constantly.

Step 4

Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any cooked egg bits.

Step 6

Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until completely chilled.

Step 7

Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 8

During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the Amarena cherries and the cherry juice.

Step 9

Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your homemade Sugar-Free Amarena Cherry Ice Cream!
