Ingredients

• 480 ml Unsweetened almond milk
• 120 g Low-fat Greek yogurt (plain)
• 2 tsp Vanilla extract
• 3 tbsp Granulated erythritol or low-calorie sweetener
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Cold water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk and granulated erythritol (or low-calorie sweetener). Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm but not boiling.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until fully dissolved to create a slurry.

Step 3

Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the warm almond milk mixture while continuously whisking. Continue heating for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly (it should coat the back of a spoon).

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool for 10-15 minutes.

Step 5

Once cooled, whisk in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container and place it in the freezer. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals and ensure a creamy texture.

Step 7

Once the ice cream is fully set, scoop and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
