This low carb ice cream is uh-mazing! It’s a no guilt, low carb soft serve with unlimited flavors!
It’s a churn recipe that requires the mixture to be refrigerator cold. You can make this the night before or the morning before (if you are planning ice cream after dinner) so it will be cold enough for the churning process to produce the right consistency.
Ingredients:
- 6 egg yolks
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp + 1/8 tsp Stevia (powdered)
- 1/4 cup Swerve (confectionery)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Flavor extract/powder (see below)
Flavors:
- 1/2 tsp Maple Extract
- 1/8 Mint Extract
- Chocolate – 3 tbsp cocoa powder (this will increase the carb count slightly)
- 1/4 cup chopped ripe strawberries (this will increase the carb count slightly)
- If you are adding strawberries add them towards the end of the churning process when you are pretty much satisfied with the consistency.
Instructions:
In a stove top pot combine the egg yolks, heavy whipping cream sweeteners, vanilla extract and any flavor extracts or powders and stir. (If you are making strawberry ice cream you will add the chopped strawberries during the churning process – towards the end)
Turn burner on low to start, bring up the temp gradually. Continue stirring until the mixture reached 160 degrees. This will make your egg yolks safe to eat and the continuous stirring will help minimize any clumps of egg in the mixture.
After your mixture has reached 160 degrees, pour it through cheese cloth into a glass bowl that has a lid. The cheese cloth will remove any clumps of egg from the mixture.
Put lid on glass dish containing mixture and put it in the refrigerator. It will be cold enough to churn in about 4-5 hours.
Churn when ready! Don’t forget to put your ice base for your ice cream churn in the freezer over night! I just keep mine in there all the time. #EmergencyIceCream
This is the ice cream maker that I use.
Note: Everyone’s sweet preference is different and it will change over time. Once you have gotten your mixture to 160 degrees you can taste it and adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more powdered sweeteners and stirring them in. It will taste a little sweeter AFTER it becomes chilled so you may want to take that into account too.
