Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 170 g allulose
  • 2 –3 tablespoons powdered keto sweetener
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon xanthan gum

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, allulose, powdered keto sweetener, and salt. Heat over medium-low, stirring until the sweeteners dissolve completely. Do not boil.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth.
  • Slowly whisk a small amount of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks to temper them. Continue adding the warm mixture gradually until combined.
  • Return the tempered mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract and xanthan gum until fully incorporated.
  • Transfer the custard to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until thoroughly chilled.
  • Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  • Fold in any optional mix-ins, such as sugar-free chocolate chunks, chopped nuts, raspberry sauce, or keto caramel, during the last few minutes of churning.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, and freeze for 2–4 hours until firm enough to scoop.
  • Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before serving for the creamiest texture.
