Ingredients
- 10.5 fl ounces canned coconut cream I use two 5.3 ounce cans
- ⅓ cup unsalted and unsweetened almond butter preferably organic (no glyphosate)
- ⅓ cup granular Monk Fruit with Allulose Sweetener or equivalent sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 egg yolks or liquid sunflower lecithin for vegan
Instructions
- Add coconut cream, almond butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt to a medium saucepan and blend until well combined.
- Place egg yolks in a small bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
- Heat coconut cream mixture until you see strands of steam coming off being careful not to boil. Remove from heat.
- Temper egg yolks by slowly adding ladles of the heated coconut cream mixture to egg yolks while whisking in. Once the eggs have been warmed, slowly stream the tempered eggs into the heated coconut cream mixture while whisking to combine.
- Pour mixture in CREAMi pint container and freeze for 24 hours on flat surface.
- Process in the Ninja CREAMi on the ice cream setting. If mixture is not smooth and creamy, you can re-spin.
Notes
Be careful not to cook the egg yolks while adding them in. It’s difficult to strain cooked pieces out because small bits of almond in the almond butter will also strain out.
Monk fruit sweetener with allulose or BochaSweet work best for low-carb ice cream. Use ⅓ cup sugar equivalence total in the recipe or adjust the sweetness to your own preference. Regular sugar or a natural sweetener like maple syrup can also be used.
Almond butter made with dry roasted almonds tends to have the best taste.
This recipe can be made in a pint-sized ice cream maker like the DASH My Pint. Add to machine and churn according to ice cream machine manufacturer’s directions. However, I recomment using the Ninja CREAMi
