Carnivore Browned Butter Ice Cream recipe

Carnivore Browned Butter Ice Cream

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

• 2 cups heavy cream

• 4 large egg yolks

• 1/2 cup powdered erythritol (optional, for sweetness)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Brown the Butter:

   • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

   • Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma, about 5–7 minutes.

   • Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

2. Prepare the Ice Cream Base:

   • In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and powdered erythritol (if using) until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.

   • Slowly pour the browned butter into the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from curdling.

3. Heat the Cream:

   • In another saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.

   • Slowly pour the heated cream into the egg yolk and butter mixture, whisking constantly.

4. Cook the Custard:

   • Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 5–7 minutes.

   • Do not let the mixture boil.

5. Chill the Custard:

   • Remove the custard from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract (if using).

   • Pour the custard into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature.

   • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

6. Churn the Ice Cream:

   • Once chilled, pour the custard into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency

7. Freeze and Serve:

   • Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.

   • Scoop the ice cream into bowls and enjoy your creamy, buttery carnivore-friendly treat!

Tips:

• Sweetener: The powdered erythritol is optional and can be omitted if you prefer a purely carnivore recipe. The butter and cream provide natural sweetness and richness.

• Butter: Watch the butter closely as it browns to prevent it from burning. The browned butter adds a rich, nutty flavor to the ice cream.

• Chilling: Ensure the custard is thoroughly chilled before churning to achieve the best texture.
