Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 3/4 cup erythritol
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup hazelnut butter
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1/2 cup chopped roasted hazelnuts

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, almond milk, and erythritol. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it starts to steam, stirring occasionally. Do not let it boil.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks until smooth. Gradually add about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Step 3

Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Stir constantly over low heat until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Step 4

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, hazelnut butter, and salt until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any cooked egg bits.

Step 6

Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thoroughly chilled.

Step 7

Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes.

Step 8

During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the chopped roasted hazelnuts for extra texture.

Step 9

Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
