no-churn strawberry ice cream
Adapted from: https://www.biggerbolderbaking.com/dairy-free-coconut-ice-cream/
Yield: 4 servings
Serving size: 3/4 cup (175ml) // 1 large scoop OR two small scoops
-
1/2 cup (120ml) erythritol or xylitol // OR // Sukrin low-carb syrup (Sukrin syrup will result in a slightly higher carb count than erythritol or xylitol, BUT it will give you a very smooth, scoopable ice cream without fail)
-
1/4 tsp. sea salt // OR // 1/8 tsp. table salt (OPTIONAL)
-
1/4 cup (35g) frozen or fresh strawberries, chopped
-
2 cups (475ml) heavy cream (>30% fat) // OR // coconut cream, CHILLED
-
1 Tbsp. CHILLED vodka // OR // other zero-carb liqueur // OR // MCT oil (these ingredients help prevent crystallization and make the ice cream easier to scoop) (OPTIONAL)
-
2 tsp. vanilla extract (OPTIONAL)
1. Place the strawberries, erythritol, 1/4 cup of cream, and salt in a large microwaveable bowl and heat until the erythritol has fully dissolved, about 2-3 minutes on high (make sure to stop and mix every 45 seconds to ensure even heating).
2. Once the mixture has thickened to a thick syrupy consistency, mix in the (optional) vodka and vanilla, then chill this mixture in the freezer while you whip up the remaining heavy cream to soft peaks. (IF your erythritol has re-crystallized and become gritty/sandy after cooling, reheat it with a little extra cream until the erythritol has dissolved again. Mixing the strawberry "syrup" into the whipped cream during the final step when the sweetener is not fully dissolved will result in a grainy, crunchy ice cream full of large ice crystals.)
3. Once the strawberry mixture has cooled to room temperature or colder (ideally between 50-60 degrees F), whisk in a few spoonfuls of the whipped cream. Next gently fold in half of the remaining whipped cream at a time into the strawberry mixture until everything is fully combined, making sure not to over-mix or you will deflate all those bubbles in the whipped cream.
4. Spoon into an airtight container and freeze for at least 5 hours, ideally overnight. Let soften for 10-15 minutes in the fridge before serving.
