Instructions
Preparation
- Start by combining heavy cream, almond milk (if using), erythritol, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl.
- Stir until well combined. You can also use a hand mixer for a smoother texture.
Freezing
- If you have an ice cream maker, churn the mixture according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- If not, pour the mixture into a suitable container and freeze.
- Every hour for the first few hours, take the container out and give it a good stir to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Serving
- Once the ice cream reaches a scoopable consistency, serve in bowls or cups.
- Top with fresh berries, nuts, or a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate syrup for added flavor.
Notes
Experiment with different sugar substitutes and mix-ins to find your favorite combination. For a creamy texture, ensure to use full-fat dairy products.
