ICE CREAM TIPS
Making sugar ice cream is tricky. If you use an erythritol-based sweetener it hardens to a rock, but if you leave it out before serving, it will soften. If you would like more tips to keep ice cream soft, click HERE.
Want to make your kids smile at lunch? Pack them vanilla bean “healthified” ice cream. By the time lunch comes, the ice cream is nice and soft. Click HERE to find the thermos I use.
VANILLA ICE CREAM:
5 egg yolks
1/2 cup Allulose (keeps ice cream soft)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 vanilla bean, scraped clean (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
1/4 tsp Redmond Real salt
In a medium saucepan place the egg yolks and sweeteners in to mix on high with a hand mixer. Whip yolks until light in color and double in size. Stir in the whipping cream.
OPTIONAL to cook the custard (I skip this since I am not afraid of raw eggs): Place the saucepan onto medium heat on the stove and cook, stirring constantly ( see photo). Stir until thickened into a custard. Remove from heat and stir in the almond milk, vanilla bean seeds and salt. Let cool completely.
Place into your ice cream machine (click HERE to find the one I love AND it is 1/2 off the original price!!!) and watch the magic happen within 45 or according to your ice cream maker’s directions.
Freeze until set for vanilla ice cream or stir in your favorite swirl flavor to mix it up. Makes 5 servings.

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
“My heaviest weight was 456lbs. I needed a total lifestyle change. My heart was enlarging, I couldn’t walk very far, hard to breathe, asthma, acid reflux.. The only thing I had on my side was my age. I was only in my early 20s. I had even dropped out of high school because of my weight.
After moving to a new town I focused on myself. I adopted the low carb way of eating and shed so much weight so fast. About 2 years ago I hit a plateau that lasted almost a year. No matter what I changed it wasn’t coming off.
I found Maria Emmerich and learned so much about my body and the way it works. With the help of Maria’s knowledge and recipes I broke through my plateau and have shed another 70lbs bringing my total loss to 254lbs to date and still losing.
My asthma is gone, my heart is ok now, I can walk with no issues, I actually run 80 minutes a few times a week. I feel amazing!!
This is the best lifestyle for me. I will continue to follow for the foreseeable future.
Thank you Maria for sharing your knowledge and amazing recipes with us..” Ashley

So, do you only use the almond milk if you are doing the cooking method? Can I use 2 cups HWC instead of the HWC/almond milk combo?
Yes and yes. 🙂
If you use the Chicory Root sugar (Just Like Sugar) do you still only use 1 cup? I noted on the amazon reviews when clicking your link that someone said they needed to use 1.75 cup for 1 cup sugar.
Maria, I love that you don’t heat the ice cream base. I would like to make this into Strawberry ice cream using frozen strawberries. How many strawberries should I use and how would you recommend I convert this to Strawberry Ice Cream?
Sorry. I’m not sure. We don’t fruit much.
When I do this, the Swerve does not seem to dissolve-the ice cream is almost sandy. And it has an odd cooling sensation. I assume all these are due to the erithrytol-any advice? Would cooking help?
No. Cooking won’t help. Erythritol doesn’t melt. You could use add stevia glycerite to your desired sweetness. Organic cream tastes so darn good and sweet without anything!
Thanks for passing on the deal Maria–been 6 months without ice cream–can’t wait
You are welcome!
Any reason you use just yolks instead of whole eggs?
Creamier texture!;)
I use the whites to make Keto bread!
Tried making this and it would not freeze. I have the same ice cream maker as you do?? I stopped it after an hour, put the batch in the fridge, refroze the container and tried it 24 hours later. Still no ice cream. Any thoughts??
I make this weekly and it freezes great. I keep my containers in the freezer at all times unless it’s churning.
Can you do it with just Almond Milk? I’m a chef and have a client that won’t do dairy. She gave me a recipe to use with coconut milk, avocado, mint and she wanted me to use Lakanto sweetener. It was awful, icy and hard as a rock, so I’m looking for a good non dairy recipe. She will eat eggs, so I can use the yolks.
Thanks!
Maybe. Not sure:(
Could you please put this in a printed version?
I use this as a base ALL the time! I use 2c whipping cream, 1c milk, 2/3c truvia, 1tbsp vanilla, 1 egg, mix all together and throw in the ice cream maker (some cheap model with the freezer bowl) BUT, it works and we make ice cream all the time! My 5yo grandson just loves it!
So far we made, vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, peach, blueberry pie, and chocolate chip cookie dough! Great to eat ice cream again! Had been 11 months and all the subs, Halo, goatsmilk, etc just did not taste right to me! Besides, there was no plain vanilla! How can you have an A&W Root Beer Ten float with NO vanilla!
THANKS MARIA!
Yum! Thanks! 🙂
Ron, u don’t cook this mixture first?
I dont
What if you dont have an ice cream maker? Is there an alternative method without having to buy another appliance?
You could make popsicles!
Got a food processor? Pour the mixture into ice cube trays, then freeze overnight. The next day, break the ice cubes into the food processor bowl (fitted with the “S” blade) and run until the mixture is soft and smooth again. Scoop back into ice cube trays and re-freeze. When frozen, repeat the food processor treatment. The more you repeat. the thicker it becomes, and no, this isn’t a quick process–allow plenty of freezing time. My latest batch took 2 days, but I saved the expense of a machine I would rarely use. Obviously, the key here is to PLAN AHEAD.
I’m allergic to dairy, and have to use coconut milk/coconut cream–this may be why the freezing takes so long.
Thanks! Try to get coconut oil at room temp and then combine well so it doesn’t separate.
