Zero-Carb Vanilla Ice Cream Homemade, Sugar-Free<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0Ingredients<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • 2 cups heavy cream (very cold)<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other low-carb milk)<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 4 large egg yolks, room temp<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup allulose (or monk fruit sweetener)<\/li>\n
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract<\/li>\n
  • Pinch of salt<\/li>\n
  • Optional: 1\u20132 tbsp vodka or glycerin (helps keep it scoopable)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \u00a0Instructions<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Prep the custard base:<\/strong>
      \nIn a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sweetener until pale and thick.<\/li>\n
    2. Heat the dairy:<\/strong>
      \nIn a saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream and almond milk until steaming (don\u2019t let it boil).<\/li>\n
    3. Temper the eggs:<\/strong>
      \nSlowly pour about 1\/4 of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly (this avoids scrambling). Once mixed, pour it all back into the saucepan.<\/li>\n
    4. Cook the custard:<\/strong>
      \nStir constantly with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (about 170 \u00b0F \/ 77 \u00b0C). Remove from heat.<\/li>\n
    5. Flavor and chill:<\/strong>
      \nStir in vanilla and optional vodka\/glycerin, then cool to room temperature. Refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight is best).<\/li>\n
    6. Freeze:<\/strong>
      \nPour chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to machine instructions (usually ~20\u201325 mins). For firmer ice cream, transfer to a freezer container and freeze an extra 2\u20134 hours.<\/li>\n
    7. Serve:<\/strong>
      \nScoop and enjoy straight from the freezer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u00a0Tips for Success<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Truly zero carb<\/em> ice cream is tricky because dairy and natural ingredients carry tiny amounts of carbs \u2014 but this recipe will come very close or hit zero on many nutrition labels.<\/li>\n
      • If you don\u2019t have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mix in a shallow container and stir every 30 minutes until set \u2014 this mimics churning.<\/li>\n
      • Vodka or glycerin lowers freezing point so the ice cream stays scoopable without becoming an icy block.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
