In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, almond milk, erythritol, vanilla extract, banana extract, and salt. Heat over medium heat until it's hot but not boiling (just starting to steam).
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are smooth.
Slowly pour about one cup of the hot cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
Pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the hot cream.
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and lightly coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-8 minutes.
Remove from heat and pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any cooked egg bits. Allow to cool slightly.
Cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until completely chilled.
Once chilled, churn the mixture in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Toward the end of the churning process, crumble in the keto cookies and add cocoa powder, allowing it to evenly incorporate into the ice cream.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Scoop and serve your keto banana cookie ice cream!
