Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 cups sugar or a sugar substitute like glycine or stevia
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups unsweetened almond milk or any milk of your choice for lower calorie option
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 pints heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Custard Base:
In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar (or sugar substitute), coconut flour, and salt.
Gradually add the unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk) while stirring until the mixture is smooth.
Cook and stir the mixture over medium heat until it thickens and becomes bubbly. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking and stirring for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
2. Temper the Eggs:
In a small bowl, whisk a small amount of the hot mixture into the lightly beaten eggs. Then, return the egg mixture to the saucepan, whisking constantly.
3. Cook the Custard:
Bring the custard mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat immediately.
4. Cool the Custard:
Quickly transfer the hot custard to a large bowl and place the bowl in a larger pan filled with ice water. Stir the custard gently and occasionally for about 2 minutes to help cool it down.
Press plastic wrap onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate the custard for several hours or overnight until thoroughly chilled.
5. Prepare the Ice Cream Mixture:
Once the custard is chilled, stir in the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract until well combined.
6. Freeze the Ice Cream:
Fill the cylinder of your ice cream freezer two-thirds full with the custard mixture. Freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. Refrigerate the remaining custard mixture until ready to freeze.
Transfer the churned ice cream to freezer containers, leaving some space for expansion. Freeze for 2-4 hours or until firm.
Repeat the freezing process with any remaining custard mixture.
