  • 3 Mixing Bowls: For whisking the egg yolks and combining ingredients.
  • 4 Whisk For mixing the egg yolks and cream mixture.

Ingredients
  

  • Heavy Cream: 2 cups
  • Unsweetened Almond Milk: 1 cup
  • Keto-Friendly Sweetened Condensed Milk: 1/2 cup homemade or store-bought
  • Egg Yolks: 4
  • Butter: 2 tablespoons for toasting the pecans
  • Pecans: 1 cup chopped
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt: A pinch
  • Optional Sweetener: To taste erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia

Instructions
 

  • Toast the Pecans
  • - Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
  • - Add 1 cup of chopped pecans and stir frequently to prevent burning.
  • - Toast until the pecans are golden brown and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
  • - Remove from heat and let the pecans cool.
  • Prepare the Custard Base
  • - In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups heavy cream and 1 cup unsweetened almond milk. Heat over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer.
  • - In a separate bowl, whisk 4 egg yolks until pale and thickened.
  • - Gradually pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent scrambling.
  • - Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.
  • - Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup keto-friendly sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  • - Allow the custard to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
  • Churn the Ice Cream
  • - Pour the chilled custard into your ice cream maker.
  • - Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually 20-30 minutes.
  • - During the last few minutes of churning, add the toasted pecans.
  • Freeze the Ice Cream
  • - Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container.
  • - Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
  • - Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
