In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, almond milk, powdered erythritol, cocoa powder, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture continuously until smooth and well-blended, about 5 minutes. Do not let it boil.
In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks.
Slowly add a small amount (about half a cup) of the warm cream mixture into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the yolks.
Slowly pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the cream mixture, whisking continuously.
Continue to cook the combined mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool down completely at room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes.
Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours until firm for scooping.
Serve the keto chocolate peanut butter ice cream topped with sugar-free chocolate chips or a drizzle of melted keto chocolate, if desired.
