Lemons N’ Cream Ice Cream

I am so obsessed with this ice cream! Lemons N’ Cream Ice Cream is light, luscious, and lemony. At only two carbs per serving, it’s a refreshing way to top off any meal and the ultimate in summertime ice cream flavors.

Yield: 14 servings

Serving size: 1/2 cup 

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup (22.11g) powdered egg yolks
• 8 oz (226.8g) cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups (476g) pasteurized heavy whipping cream, without additives
• 1 1/3 cups (315.21g) water
• 1 tbsp. (15g) pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp. (90g) natural, non-GMO confectioners/powdered erythritol
• 1 tbsp. (6g) lemon zest
• the juice of 2 freshly squeezed lemons

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the powdered egg yolks with 1/3 cup of water. Whisk until smooth.
2. Add the softened cream cheese to the egg yolks. Using a handheld electric mixer, blend until fluffy.
