- 2 ¼ cups heavy cream
- ⅓ cup allulose or ¼ cup Sweetener with Inulin
- ½ teaspoon stevia extract powder
- 1 ½ tablespoons allulose syrup or additional allulose powder
- 1 vanilla bean split and seeds scraped
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum

Instructions
- Fill a large bowl with ice water. In another large bowl, whisk the cream cheese until smooth.
- In a large saucepan, combine the almond milk, heavy cream, allulose powder, stevia extract powder, allulose syrup, and vanilla bean seeds. Bring the milk mixture to a boil and cook over moderate heat about 4 minutes. Stir in xanthan gum.
- Gradually whisk the hot milk mixture into the cream cheese until smooth. Whisk in the salt. Set the bowl in the ice water bath and let stand, stirring occasionally, until cold, about 20 minutes.

You can easily make keto chocolate ice cream by adding unsweetened cocoa powder. Or stir in some nuts or sugar free chocolate chips. You can also swirl in low-carb chocolate syrup for a fudge swirl.
Use a gelato paddle for churning. The gelato paddle incorporates less air so you'll get a rich dense ice cream.
Store in an airtight container. It's important to keep air from reaching the ice cream to keep it fresh and prevent freezer burn.
