Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Base

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • ¾ cup sugar alternative
  • 1 cup milk (cold)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: 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 the mixture is combined and thick, which should take about five minutes.
  2. Transfer Mixture: Pour and smooth the blended ice cream base into a loaf pan, using the backside of a spoon or a rubber spatula to create an even surface.
  3. Freeze: Cover the loaf pan with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow the ice cream to freeze and set for about six hours or until firm.

Notes

  • Use a high-quality sugar alternative suited for freezing to maintain texture and flavor.
  • Ensure ingredients are cold before mixing to help thicken the ice cream base.
  • Can be stored in freezer for up to one week for best taste and texture.
  • For a softer texture, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
  • Vanilla extract can be substituted with vanilla bean paste for a more intense vanilla flavor.
