Step-by-Step Instructions

A guilt-free frozen treat in 30 minutes + freezing.

Vanilla sugar-free ice cream preparation
01

Whisk the base

Combine heavy cream, almond milk, erythritol, vanilla extract, xanthan gum, and salt in a blender. Blend until completely smooth and well combined.

02

Chill thoroughly

Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours. The colder the base, the creamier your ice cream will be. You can chill overnight for best results.

03

Churn or freeze

Pour into an ice cream maker and churn for 20–25 minutes. No ice cream maker? Pour into a shallow dish, freeze 1 hour, stir well, and repeat 3 times for a smooth texture.

04

Freeze and serve

Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 4+ hours to firm up. Let sit 5 minutes before scooping for the creamiest texture. Top with sugar-free sauces or fresh berries.

No ice crystals: Use xanthan gum or add 1 tbsp vodka to lower freezing point. Sweetener: Blend powdered sweeteners for smoother texture. Combine sweeteners (erythritol + stevia) to balance flavors. Storage: Keep airtight to prevent freezer burn.
