How to Make Sugar Free French Vanilla Ice Cream With Xylitol

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the xylitol, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and whole milk until fully combined.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle simmer. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the egg yolks one at a time, whisking vigorously to prevent curdling.
Return the mixture to low heat and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously, until slightly thickened.
Remove from heat and strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. This ensures a smooth and lump-free texture.
Stir in the vanilla bean paste (if using).
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the custard to fully chill.
Once chilled, churn the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to harden further.
Serve and enjoy your healthy and delicious sugar-free French vanilla ice cream!
