Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

3 cups thickened cream/ heavy cream Use full-fat cream for the best texture and richness.
70 g xylitol sweetener Adjust to your preferred level of sweetness, or substitute with other granular sweeteners.
½ tsp salt flakes Enhances the overall flavor and balances the sweetness.
6 large whole eggs Ensure eggs are at room temperature to prevent curdling when gently heated.
3/4 cup Vanilla Protein Powder Choose a high-quality vanilla protein powder for the best flavor and nutritional boost.
1 tbsp powdered gelatin Helps create a smooth, creamy texture and prevents the formation of large ice crystals.

Equipment

Large Heat-Safe Bowl
Whisk
Saucepan
Large Shallow Container
Blender

Method

Place all the ingredients into a large heat-safe bowl and whisk until combined.
Bring a saucepan half filled with water to a gentle simmer and place the bowl over it.
Continue to whisk until the sweetener dissolves and the custard coats the back of a spoon (4-7 minutes). Remove from heat.
Pour the mixture into a thin layer in a large shallow container and freeze flat for 8 hours or overnight.
Cut the frozen block into chunks, blend in batches until smooth, then freeze again for at least 3 hours before serving.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with different protein powder flavors (like chocolate or strawberry) or add-ins such as cocoa powder, fruit purees, or nut butter after the first blend for a personalized touch.
