Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ube powder
- 2 cups Unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granular erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ube extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the ube powder and water. Stir thoroughly to rehydrate the powder, then heat over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes until it forms a smooth ube paste. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, heavy cream, erythritol, vanilla extract, ube extract, and salt until the sweetener is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Fold the cooled ube paste into the liquid mixture, stirring well to incorporate it evenly. Adjust the color and flavor by adding more ube extract if desired.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions to churn until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container. Press a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze the ice cream for 2-4 hours or until firm. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping and serving.
