Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.75 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 0.5 cup Amarena cherries in syrup (no added sugar)
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, almond milk, and erythritol.
Stir the mixture until the erythritol is completely dissolved, then bring to a gentle simmer. Do not let it boil.
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are smooth and slightly frothy.
Slowly temper the egg yolks by adding a ladle of the hot cream mixture while whisking continuously to avoid curdling.
Add the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan, stirring constantly.
Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring continually, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 160°F).
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and xanthan gum.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until completely cool.
Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In the last few minutes of churning, add the Amarena cherries, including any syrup.
Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze it for at least 2-3 hours before serving to allow it to firm up.
Enjoy your creamy and flavorful Keto Amarena Cherry Ice Cream!
