Keto Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

• 2 cups whole milk

• 2 cups half and half (not fat-free)

• 1/2 cup dutch processed cocoa powder, sifted

• 6 large egg yolks

• 1 cup powdered erythritol sweetener (aka Swerve confectioners)

• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup Lily's dark chocolate premium baking chips (sweetened with stevia)

Directions

1. In a 3-quart, heavy-bottom saucepan over medium high heat, combine milk, half and half, cocoa powder, and egg yolks, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil; continue stirring and cook for 1 minute, being careful not to let the mixture boil over.

2. Remove from the heat and stir in the powdered erythritol and pure vanilla extract.

3. Strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve; cover well and chill overnight.

4. Process in your ice cream maker following the manufacturer's instructions.

5. When ice cream is done churning, serve immediately or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1 hour for a slightly firmer texture.

Notes:

• You can make your own powdered erythritol (swerve confectioners) by grinding granulated erythritol in an electric coffee grinder, a small food processor, or a nutribullet.

• Because this ice cream contains no sugar (which helps to keeps the texture scoopable), it's best served either soft-serve style right out of the machine, or freeze for 1 hour for a slightly firmer texture. For longer storage, omit dark chocolate baking chips and freeze in ice pop molds.
