Sugar-free vanilla ice cream

A good vanilla ice cream is defined by its deep aroma and velvety texture. By removing the sugar, the challenge is to keep that smoothness without ice crystals forming. To achieve this, we will use Erythritol Powder, which dissolves perfectly without leaving a grainy trace. The final secret is a pinch of Bonsalt , which enhances the complexity of the vanilla aroma and balances the dairy notes.

Technical Sheet

• Estimated time: 15 minutes of preparation + 4 hours of freezing

• Difficulty: ⭐⭐

• Servings: 4-6 people

Ingredients

• 500 ml of whipping cream (minimum 35% fat) very cold

• 250 ml of whole milk or unsweetened almond milk

• 80g of Erythritol Powder

• 4 egg yolks (they provide the fat needed for creaminess)

• 1 vanilla bean (or 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract)

• Seasoning: A pinch of Bonsalt .

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Aromatic infusion: In a saucepan, heat the milk with the Erythritol Powder and the seeds from the vanilla bean. Heat over medium heat without letting it boil.

2. Tempering the yolks: In a bowl, whisk the yolks. Pour a little of the hot milk over the yolks while whisking quickly (this prevents the egg from curdling). Then, return the entire mixture to the saucepan.

3. Crème anglaise: Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly (it should coat the back of a spoon). Remove from the heat, add the pinch of Bonsalt and let cool completely.

4. The master touch: The use of Bonsalt in vanilla ice cream is a haute cuisine trick. The potassium brings out the sweet notes of natural vanilla without needing to add more sweetener, delivering a cleaner, more professional flavor.

5. Whipping and mixing: Whip the cream (which must be very cold) until firm. Fold the cooled vanilla custard into the cream with gentle motions to keep the air in.

6. Freezing: * With an ice cream maker: Churn the mixture according to the instructions.

   • Without an ice cream maker: Pour into a metal container. To prevent crystals, beat the mixture with a fork every 45 minutes during the first 3 hours.
