Ingredients:
4 ounces full-fat cream cheese, room temperature and softened
1/4 monk fruit sugar replacement
1 1/2 cups of heavy cream
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp banana extract
2 or 4 drops yellow food coloring (optional as desired)
Preparation
Step 1
In a big container, mix the cream cheese with the monk fruit sweetener.
Tip: For this process, you can use a hand electric mixer on medium until the ingredients are fully blended.
Step 2
Slowly add the heavy cream while continuing to mix the ingredients. The mixture will become very light and fluffy, eventually becoming firm and taking its form.
Step 3
Continue by adding the unsweetened almond milk, banana extract and food coloring (optional).
Mix on slow speed until well blended.
Tip: You will know the mixture has reached its desired texture when it’s fluffy and creamy.
Step 4
Transfer your mixture to an ice cream maker and churn for 25 minutes until you start to see the mixture reach the ice cream texture.
At this point, you can serve it like soft ice cream or you can choose to finalize curing it by placing it in the freezer for about 2-3 hours to serve firm.
Don’t forget, when serving the ice cream, let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before digging in.
Tip: If you don’t have an ice cream machine, no worries.
You can skip that step and place it in the freezer to cure for 2 hours and then let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving. The taste and texture will all be the same.
Finally, preparing this recipe is truly a work of magic. It allows you to break the routine without the guilty feeling of sugar, excessive carbs, calories, preservatives.
