In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk, heavy cream, granulated erythritol, and salt. Whisk until the erythritol is completely dissolved.
Add the vanilla extract and xanthan gum to the mixture. Whisk thoroughly to ensure the xanthan gum is fully blended in, as this will help thicken the ice cream.
Transfer the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturerβs instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes, depending on the machine.
Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container.
Place the container in the freezer for at least 2 hours to let the ice cream firm up.
Scoop and serve. If the ice cream is too hard after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
