Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.75 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, 2 tablespoons of erythritol, lemon juice, and water. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the blueberries have burst and the mixture has thickened into a jam-like consistency. Set aside to cool.
In a separate saucepan, combine heavy cream and almond milk. Heat over medium-low until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and remaining erythritol until well combined.
Remove the hot cream mixture from heat. Slowly whisk about 1/2 cup of the hot cream into the egg yolk mixture to temper the eggs, then gradually whisk the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream.
Return the saucepan to low heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not let it boil.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow to cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thoroughly chilled.
Churn the chilled ice cream base in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until thick and creamy.
Layer the churned ice cream in a freezer-safe container, alternating with spoonfuls of the cooled blueberry mixture. Use a knife to gently swirl the blueberry mixture through the ice cream without fully mixing.
Cover and freeze the ice cream for at least 2 hours or until firm before serving.
