Method

Tap a time to watch that step in the video.

  1. Make the condensed milk: whisk 1 1/2 cups cream with the 1/4 cup powdered Swerve and the allulose in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. 0:42
  2. Turn the heat to low and keep it at a gentle simmer, without boiling, for about 30 minutes, until syrupy and reduced by about a third. Stir in the butter until melted, then sprinkle in the xanthan gum while whisking. Cool to room temperature. 1:17
  3. Whisk in the remaining 1 1/2 cups cream, 3 tbsp powdered Swerve, the vanilla and salt. Taste and add more sweetener if you like. 2:09
  4. Chill the mixture at least 1 hour (2–3 hours or overnight if your ice cream maker has a freeze-ahead bowl). 3:22
  5. Churn in an ice cream maker until it looks like soft serve (30–60 minutes), scrape into an airtight container and freeze 4–6 hours until firm but scoopable. 3:50

Tip. The video uses BochaSweet; counted like xylitol, it adds about 3 g net carbs a scoop (allulose adds none). To lighten it, swap 3/4 cup of the second lot of cream for nut milk. Her optional vodka is left out.

Vitamin A High43%

389 µg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (47%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.

Omega-3 Source17%

0.3 g a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (48%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.

Show the other 13
Vitamin B128%

0.2 µg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (48%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Vitamin E6%

1 mg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (46%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.

Calcium5%

60 mg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (49%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.

Selenium5%

2.7 µg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (49%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.

Vitamin D3%

0.6 µg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (46%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.

Vitamin K3%

3.1 µg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (46%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.

Vitamin C1%

0.5 mg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (50%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
