Prepare the Strawberries:
- Place the chopped strawberries in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. You can leave a few chunks if you prefer a chunkier texture.
Make the Ice Cream Base:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy whipping cream and almond milk. Heat over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Temper the Egg Yolks:
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and powdered erythritol together until well combined and slightly pale.
- Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly to temper the yolks. This prevents them from scrambling.
- Pour the tempered yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, whisking constantly.
Cook the Mixture:
- Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170-175°F or 77-80°C).
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and vodka (if using).
Combine with Strawberries:
- Stir in the strawberry puree until fully combined.
Chill the Mixture:
- Pour the mixture into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely chilled. For best results, chill overnight.
Churn the Ice Cream:
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes.
Freeze the Ice Cream:
- Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Serve:
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping to make it easier to serve.

Tips:

If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow container, freeze it, and stir every 30 minutes until it reaches a creamy consistency.
Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less erythritol.

Enjoy your homemade keto and low-carb strawberry ice cream!.
