Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 0.5 cup granular erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- to taste sugar-free whipped cream
Instructions
Start by preparing the low-carb ice cream. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, almond milk, and cream cheese over medium heat. Whisk continuously until the mixture is smooth and just starting to bubble.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until the erythritol is fully dissolved.
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent ice crystals from forming.
While the ice cream is setting, prepare the strawberry topping. Slice the strawberries and place them in a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of erythritol and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Toss everything together and let the strawberries macerate in the refrigerator until needed.
Once the ice cream is ready, scoop it into serving bowls or glasses.
Top each serving with a generous spoonful of the macerated strawberries.
Finish with a sprinkle of sliced almonds and a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb strawberry sundae!
