Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

• 3/4 cup erythritol or another low-carb sweetener

• 4 large egg yolks

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

• Prepare the Ice Cream Base: Combine the heavy cream, almond milk, and half of the sweetener in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
• Mix the Egg Yolks: Whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sweetener in a separate bowl until the mixture is pale and creamy.
• Temper the Eggs: Slowly pour a small amount of the hot cream into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. Gradually add more of the hot cream mixture until fully combined.
• Cook the Mixture: Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Cool the Mixture: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.
• Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
• Freeze: Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

History

Ice cream has a long history dating back to ancient China and Persia, where early versions were made from snow and fruit. Modern ice cream evolved in Europe with the addition of dairy and sweeteners. As low-carb diets have gained popularity, the demand for healthier alternatives to traditional ice cream has led to the creation of recipes like this one, which provides all the enjoyment of classic ice cream without the high-carb content.

FAQs

Can I use a different sweetener?

You can substitute erythritol with low-carb sweeteners, such as stevia, monk fruit, or xylitol. Adjust the amount to taste.

Do I need an ice cream maker?

While an ice cream maker helps achieve a smooth texture, you can make this recipe without one. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish, freeze, and stir every 30 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.

Can I add mix-ins?

Absolutely! Feel free to add your favourite low-carb mix-ins such as nuts, sugar-free chocolate chips, or fruit.
