Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 0.75 cup Erythritol sweetener (granular)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Peppermint extract
- 0.75 cup Chopped sugar-free dark chocolate
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, heavy cream, and fresh mint leaves.
Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot, but not boiling. Remove from heat and let it steep for 15 minutes to infuse the mint flavor.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the mint leaves, pressing the leaves to extract as much liquid as possible.
Return the mint-infused mixture to the saucepan and whisk in the erythritol sweetener, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and salt. Stir until the sweetener is dissolved.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the surface and whisk vigorously to incorporate it into the mixture smoothly.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until it is completely cold.
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve ice cream consistency.
During the last few minutes of churning, add the chopped sugar-free dark chocolate to distribute evenly throughout the ice cream.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Serve and enjoy your sugar-free mint chip ice cream!
