Carnivore Caramel Milkshake
Ingredients:
-
1 cup heavy cream (full-fat)
-
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or water (for a lighter consistency; optional)
-
2 tbsp butter (preferably grass-fed)
-
2 tbsp brown erythritol or your preferred sweetener (monk fruit, stevia, or erythritol)
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
-
2-3 ice cubes (optional, for thicker consistency)
-
Pinch of salt (optional, to enhance the caramel flavor)
-
1-2 tbsp caramel extract (or a few drops of caramel flavoring; optional)
Instructions:
1. Make the Caramel Sauce:
-
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
-
Add the erythritol (or your preferred sweetener) and a pinch of salt to the melted butter. Stir continuously as it dissolves into a smooth caramel sauce. This will take 3-5 minutes.
-
Once the sweetener is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth, add the vanilla extract and caramel extract (if using). Stir and set it aside to cool slightly.
2. Prepare the Milkshake:
-
In a blender, combine the heavy cream, unsweetened almond milk (or water), and ice cubes (if using).
-
Add the caramel sauce mixture to the blender. Blend everything together on high speed for about 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
3. Adjust Sweetness and Consistency:
-
Taste the milkshake and adjust sweetness by adding more sweetener or caramel extract, if desired.
-
If the milkshake is too thick, you can add a bit more almond milk or water to reach your preferred consistency.
4. Serve:
-
Pour the milkshake into a glass, top with extra caramel drizzle (optional), and enjoy!
Tips:
-
For an extra-rich milkshake, you can add a few more tablespoons of butter or use whipped cream as a topping.
-
If you’re not using an ice cream maker, adding frozen heavy cream cubes can help thicken the shake.
-
You can adjust the caramel flavor by using more or less caramel extract depending on your taste preference.
