Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Cream heavy/whipping
  • 1 cup Coconut milk
  • 3 large Egg yolks
  • ½ cup Allulose or other low carb sweetener
  • ½ cup Cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 10 Cherries, halved or quartered pitted (fresh or defrosted)
  • ¼ cup Chocolate chips (sugar free) (optional)

Instructions

  • Pour the cream and coconut milk in a saucepan on a medium heat. Do not let it boil but heat it for about 3-5 minutes.
  • As the cream is heating, whisk the eggs and allulose together.
  • Remove the cream from the heat and gently pour into the egg mixture. Whisk until combined the mixture is twice the volume and light in colour.
  • Add the cocoa powder to the cream and stir thoroughly.
  • Pour this mixture back into the saucepan on a medium heat and whisk for 5 to 10 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken slightly.   
  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Place in the refrigerator for faster cooling.
  • Pour into the canister of an ice-cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Stir in the cherries (and chocolate chips if you are using them) and spoon the ice cream in an air tight container. Place in the freezer for at least 4 hours.
  • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, place in the freezer. Remove every 30 minutes to stir to distribute the ice crystals until frozen consistency is obtained. Can take about 4-5 hours.
