Instructions:
- Mix Ingredients:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, almond milk, erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt. If you’re making chocolate ice cream, also add the unsweetened cocoa powder at this stage.
- Blend:
- Whisk the mixture until the erythritol is fully dissolved and the ingredients are well combined. For a smoother texture, you can use an electric mixer or blender.
- Chill:
- Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to chill. This helps it freeze more evenly.
- Freeze:
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Typically, this takes about 20-30 minutes.
- Add Mix-ins (Optional):
- If you want to add nuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the ice cream during the last 5 minutes of churning.
- Serve:
- Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, you can serve it immediately. For a firmer texture, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours.
- Storage:
- Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly.
Tips:
- Consistency: If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until it reaches a creamy consistency.
- Flavor Variations: Feel free to experiment with different extracts or spices, such as almond extract or cinnamon, to create your own unique flavors.
Enjoy your keto-friendly ice cream!
