Chill the coconut milk cans in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. This will help to separate the cream from the liquid.
Once chilled, open the coconut milk cans and scoop only the solidified cream into a mixing bowl.
Add almond milk, erythritol, vanilla extract, xanthan gum, and sea salt to the bowl with the coconut cream.
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, blend the ingredients together until smooth and well incorporated.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more erythritol, one tablespoon at a time, until desired sweetness is achieved.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours for a firmer texture.
Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping and serving.
