Basic Custard Ice Cream
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).

Ingredients:

  • 1 large Egg (Whole)
  • 1/8 teaspoon Salt
  • 3/4 cup Sucralose Based Sweetener (Sugar Substitute)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 3 cups Heavy Cream
  • 3 large Egg Yolks

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.
