This recipe uses allulose to get a deep, rich caramel taste without using regular white sugar. It is made for the Ninja Creami and has a very smooth, gelato-like texture.

The secret is "burning" the allulose on its own to get that dark caramel color. Be careful, though! Allulose turns bitter much faster than normal sugar.

Directions

  1. Caramelize the Allulose: Put the allulose in a small pan over medium-high heat. Swirl it as it melts. It will bubble up and then turn a deep golden brown. Watch it like a hawk because it browns very fast.
  2. Base Prep: In another pan, whisk the light cream and skim milk powder together. Heat this mixture until it is quite hot, about 60–70°C.
  3. Combine: Carefully pour a little bit of the hot cream into the pan with the brown allulose. It will bubble a lot, so stay safe! Whisk them together, then pour that mix back into the main cream pan. Stir until all the allulose is completely melted.
  4. Finish the Base: Stir in your salt and the stevia drops.
  5. Aging: Pour the mix into a Ninja Creami Deluxe pint. Let it sit for a few minutes so the bubbles rise, then scoop off any foam from the top so it is filled exactly to the max fill line with liquid.
  6. Hardening: Put the lid on and freeze for at least 24 hours.
  7. Churning: Put the frozen pint in the Ninja Creami and spin on the "Ice Cream" or "Gelato" setting.
