INGREDIENTS

  • 3 cup Heavy Cream
  • 3 large Egg Yolk
  • 1 large Egg (Whole)
  • 0 3/4 cup Sucralose Based Sweetener (Sugar Substitute)
  • 0 1/8 tsp Salt
  • 0 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a heavy bottom medium saucepan over medium heat, warm cream until bubbles form just around the edge of the pan. 
  2. In a medium heat-resistant bowl, whisk together yolks, eggs, sugar substitute and salt. While constantly whisking the egg mixture, add hot cream in a thin steam until incorporated. 
  3. Pour the mixture back into the pan, place over medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly, just until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Immediately remove from the heat and pour into a clean bowl. Stir in vanilla. Cover the surface of the custard with plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled, about 4 hours. 
  5. Freeze according to the directions for your ice cream maker.

Cooking Tip

Atkins Treats make great ice cream toppings, like chocolate covered almonds or crumbled peanut butter cup (just pay attention to net carbs whenever you add ingredients).
