Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • cup erythritol
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1 tablespoon vodka*
  • 1 cup strawberries

Instructions
 

  • Set a pot with your heavy cream onto a low flame to heat up. Add in 1/3 cup of erythritol to dissolve.
  • Don’t let the cream come to a boil, just simmer gently until all the erythritol is dissolved.
  • Separate 3 egg yolks from their whites into a deep mixing bowl. Beat them with an electric mixer until they’ve doubled in size.
  • Then, to temper the eggs so they don’t scramble, add in a few tablespoons of your hot cream mixture at a time to the eggs while beating.
  • Do this until the egg mixture is warm and then slowly add in the rest of the cream mixture, beating constantly. Add in some vanilla extract and mix.
  • This step is optional, but helps the consistency of the ice cream stay creamy, rather than icey – add in a tablespoon of vodka and an 1/8 tsp. xanthan gum.
  • Place your bowl into the freezer to chill for about 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally. If you’ve got an ice cream maker, feel free to churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • When the ice cream is chilled and getting a bit thicker, it’s time to add the strawberries. Wash and hull a cup of strawberries and puree them for no more than 1-2 seconds. You want the strawberries to stay a little chunky, with some juice extracted. We love our NutriBullet for tasks like this!
  • Add in the strawberry mixture to the chilled cream. Mix, but don’t over mix. You want ribbons of strawberry visible in your vanilla ice cream!
  • Let this strawberry swirl ice cream chill for another 4-6 hours or overnight. Then when you’re ready to enjoy, let the ice cream temper on the counter for a few minutes and scoop! Enjoy!
