Ingredients

• 2 cups Full-fat coconut milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Fresh mint leaves
• 0.75 cup Erythritol sweetener (granular)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Peppermint extract
• 0.75 cup Chopped sugar-free dark chocolate
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, heavy cream, and fresh mint leaves.

Step 2

Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot, but not boiling. Remove from heat and let it steep for 15 minutes to infuse the mint flavor.

Step 3

Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the mint leaves, pressing the leaves to extract as much liquid as possible.

Step 4

Return the mint-infused mixture to the saucepan and whisk in the erythritol sweetener, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and salt. Stir until the sweetener is dissolved.

Step 5

Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the surface and whisk vigorously to incorporate it into the mixture smoothly.

Step 6

Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until it is completely cold.

Step 7

Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve ice cream consistency.

Step 8

During the last few minutes of churning, add the chopped sugar-free dark chocolate to distribute evenly throughout the ice cream.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your sugar-free mint chip ice cream!
