Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the full-fat coconut milk and unsweetened almond milk. Whisk together until well blended.
Add the erythritol or your preferred low-carb sweetener to the bowl. Mix until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
Stir in the vanilla extract, xanthan gum, and a pinch of salt. Ensure that the xanthan gum is fully incorporated to prevent clumping.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes or until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight, freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until the ice cream is firm enough to scoop.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easy scooping. Serve and enjoy!
