Carnivore Custard Recipe (Rich, Creamy, and Perfectly Keto)
This carnivore custard is a delicious, protein-packed dessert that’s incredibly easy to make. It’s an indulgent treat with only a few simple ingredients, ideal for those following the carnivore diet or anyone looking for a low-carb, rich dessert. The velvety texture and creamy taste will satisfy your sweet cravings without straying from your carnivore lifestyle.
Ingredients:
- 4 large egg yolks (preferably pasture-raised)
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream (full-fat)
- 1/2 cup beef bone broth (optional for extra flavor and protein)
- 2 tbsp butter (grass-fed preferred)
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract (optional for flavor)
- 2 tbsp powdered erythritol or your preferred sweetener (adjust to taste)
- Pinch of sea salt
- Ground cinnamon or nutmeg (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
- Whisk the Egg Yolks: In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks and powdered erythritol together until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Heat the Cream and Bone Broth: In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and beef bone broth (if using). Heat the mixture over medium heat until it is warm, but not boiling, stirring occasionally. The bone broth will add a rich flavor and protein boost, but it’s optional if you prefer a more traditional custard.
- Temper the Egg Yolks: Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly. This prevents the eggs from cooking too quickly and turning into scrambled eggs. Once combined, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan.
- Cook the Custard: Cook the custard over low heat, stirring constantly, for about 5-7 minutes, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Be careful not to overcook it or let it boil.
- Add Butter and Flavorings: Remove from heat and stir in the butter until fully melted and combined. If using, add the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt.
- Cool and Serve: Pour the custard into serving dishes and let it cool. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours until chilled and set. Optionally, sprinkle with a little ground cinnamon or nutmeg before serving.
This creamy carnivore custard is a perfect way to indulge in a rich dessert while staying true to your carnivore diet! Enjoy!
