Instructions
-
Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, mix the Splenda sugar substitute, whole milk, eggs, and vanilla extract thoroughly until well combined.
-
Cook Mixture: Place the saucepan over low heat and stir the mixture regularly to prevent sticking. Cook for approximately 15 to 20 minutes until the custard thickens slightly; note that it won’t achieve the same thickness as a traditional sugar-based custard.
-
Cool the Custard: Once the desired consistency is reached, transfer the custard to a bowl. Allow it to cool in the refrigerator for at least one hour or until it is completely chilled.
-
Churn Ice Cream: After the custard is cooled, pour it into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
-
Sweetener Note: If using packet Splenda instead of pourable Splenda, reduce the amount slightly, as the packets are sweeter.
Serving Suggestion:
This sugar-free French vanilla ice cream can be enjoyed on its own or used as a base for delightful shakes. Serve it in bowls, topped with fresh fruit or a drizzle of your favorite sugar-free syrup for an extra special treat!
Enjoy your homemade, guilt-free ice cream!
