Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 4 Egg yolks
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and almond milk. Heat until warm but not boiling.
In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the erythritol sweetener, stirring constantly, until the mixture is golden brown and caramelized, about 5 minutes.
Slowly pour the warm cream and milk mixture into the caramelized butter and erythritol, stirring constantly while adding to prevent curdling.
In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the hot cream mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
Transfer the tempered egg mixture back to the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt, mixing until well combined.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the hot mixture and whisk vigorously to incorporate and avoid clumping.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until completely cold.
Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes 20-25 minutes, or until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up before serving.
