Ingredients

  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup cacao powder high-quality unsweetened
  • ¾ cup almond milk unsweetened
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon MCT oil
  • 1.5 teaspoons powdered gelatin
  • ¾ cup allulose or powdered erythritol
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract sugar-free
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream, almond milk, and cocoa powder until smooth. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it's warm but not boiling.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour about a cup of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  • Pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining cream. Add the MCT oil, powdered gelatin, allulose (or erythritol), vanilla extract, and salt. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the custard to cool to room temperature. Then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
  • Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions for about 20-30 minutes.
  • Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
