Equipment

Medium-sized mixing bowl
Whisk
Measuring cups and spoons
Ice cream maker
Spatula
Freezer-safe container

Ingredients

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (480 ml)
1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
½ cup powdered erythritol (96g)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract (5 ml)
¼ tsp almond extract (1.25 ml)
¼ tsp xanthan gum (1g)
¼ tsp salt (<1g)
Optional mix-ins: chopped nuts, keto-friendly chocolate chips, or berries

Instructions

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk and heavy cream.
Add the powdered erythritol to the liquid mixture and whisk until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
Stir in the vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt, mixing thoroughly to ensure all flavors are well incorporated.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the mixture, whisking briskly to avoid any clumps. This will help thicken the ice cream and improve its texture.
Transfer the ice cream mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
If desired, fold in any optional mix-ins at the last few minutes of churning.
Pour the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften, making it easier to scoop.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are cold before starting to help speed up the freezing process.

If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, whisking every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals until firm.
