Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, pour in 2 cups of heavy whipping cream. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3–5 minutes.
  2. Gradually add in 1 cup of powdered sugar substitute while mixing on low speed. Add 2 tablespoons of MCT oil and 1 teaspoon each of vanilla and almond extracts. Mix until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Gently mix in 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk in two stages. Blend until smooth. Place the bowl in the freezer for about 1 hour.
  4. Remove the bowl from the freezer and stir in 1 cup of pitted and halved cherries and 1/2 cup of cacao nibs. Fold everything together and transfer to a loaf pan, sprinkling extra cacao nibs and cherries on top.
  5. Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
