Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Fresh cherries (pitted and halved)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the heavy cream, almond milk, and granulated erythritol over medium heat.
Stir occasionally until the erythritol is completely dissolved and the mixture is steaming (do not bring it to a boil).
Remove saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a blender, combine the pitted cherries, lemon juice, and xanthan gum. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the cherry mixture into the cream mixture and stir until everything is fully incorporated.
Cover the mixing bowl and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly cold.
Once chilled, transfer the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes.
Transfer the churned ice cream into a lidded, freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Enjoy your homemade low carb cherry ice cream as a refreshing dessert!
