Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
- 0.5 cup Erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1 cup Frozen cherries (pitted and stemmed)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 4 large Egg yolks
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and almond milk. Heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to steam (do not let it boil).
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are slightly thickened and pale in color.
To temper the eggs, slowly add about 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Once combined, pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream.
Add the erythritol and salt to the saucepan. Stir continuously and cook over low heat until the mixture thickens slightly and can coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until it is completely cold.
While the mixture is chilling, chop the frozen cherries into small pieces.
Once the ice cream base is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
About 5 minutes before the ice cream is done churning, add the chopped cherries to incorporate them evenly throughout the ice cream.
Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded, freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until it reaches your desired firmness.
Serve the cherry ice cream in bowls and enjoy!
