Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Erythritol or preferred low-calorie sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the full-fat Greek yogurt and heavy cream. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
Add the erythritol (or your chosen low-calorie sweetener), and whisk again until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Stir in the vanilla extract, fresh lemon juice, and salt. Continue to mix until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. It is crucial for the mixture to be very cold before churning.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for churning, which usually takes about 20 minutes.
While the ice cream maker is working its magic, prepare a lidded freezer-safe container.
When the ice cream reaches a thick, soft-serve consistency, transfer it to the prepared container.
Cover the ice cream with a piece of parchment paper to prevent ice crystals from forming, then seal the container with its lid.
Freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up to your desired texture before serving.
Scoop and serve your delicious low carb creamy yogurt ice cream, garnishing with low-carb toppings like sugar-free syrups or fresh berries if desired.
