Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Mixture

  • 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
  • ¾ cup sugar alternative (such as erythritol or stevia blend)
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Combine: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cold heavy whipping cream, sugar alternative, cold milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt on low speed until all ingredients are combined and the mixture thickens slightly, about five minutes.
  2. Transfer: Pour the combined mixture into a loaf pan. Use the backside of a spoon or a rubber spatula to smooth out the surface evenly.
  3. Freeze: Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer. Allow the ice cream to set and harden for approximately six hours before serving.

Notes

  • Use cold ingredients to help the ice cream mixture thicken quicker.
  • For best results, use a sugar substitute suitable for freezing and that measures like sugar.
  • You can stir the ice cream every 2 hours during freezing to reduce ice crystals and get a creamier texture, but it’s optional.
  • Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container to prevent ice crystal formation.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed within one week of freezing for optimal taste and texture.
