Ingredients
Almond Milk Ice Cream:
- 4 large egg yolks
- ½ cup powdered monk fruit blend sweetener
- pinch sea salt
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- ½ tsp vanilla bean powder
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough:
- ¼ cup coconut oil or butter, softened
- 3 tbsp powdered monk fruit blend sweetener
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup almond flour
- ⅛ tsp sea salt
- ¼ cup ChocZero Dark Chocolate Chips
Directions
Almond Milk Ice Cream:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, powdered sweetener, and sea salt, until combined and light yellow in color. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat.
- Very slowly, pour the hot almond milk into the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly. The slower you pour the less chance that the eggs will scramble.
- Once the custard is combined and smooth, transfer the mixture back to the saucepan. Return to the stove over low heat and heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches 170°F. This should take 3-5 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Whisk in the vanilla bean powder vigorously until a froth forms. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until very cold 40°F or less.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough:
- While the ice cream is chilling you can prepare the chocolate chip cookie dough. In a medium bowl, beat together the coconut oil and powdered sweetener until combined. Beat in the vanilla extract.
- Beat in the almond flour and sea salt, until crumbly like cookie dough. Stir in ChocZero Dark Chocolate Chips .
- Cover and refrigerate cookie dough until ready to use.
Final Assembly:
- Once the custard is very cold, pour it into a pre-frozen ice cream maker bowl. Churn for 10-15 minutes, until it’s between a liquid and the texture of soft-serve ice cream.
- Drop pieces of cookie dough into the ice cream. Continue to churn according to manufacturer instructions, until the ice cream is the texture of soft serve, but more chunky.
- Serve right away, or for firmer ice cream, transfer to a freezer container and freeze until solid.
