Carnivore Coffee Popsicles
Carnivore Coffee Popsicles are a fun and refreshing treat that aligns with a carnivore diet! These popsicles are simple to make and combine the rich flavors of coffee and creamy fats without any carbs. Here’s a quick and easy recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups brewed black coffee (stronger is better for flavor)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (or more for extra creaminess)
- 1-2 tbsp butter (preferably grass-fed for better flavor and quality fat)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Sweetener to taste (stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol – optional and can be omitted for a zero-carb treat)
Instructions:
- Brew the Coffee:
- Brew your coffee strong (use your favorite method: drip, French press, espresso). You want the coffee to be concentrated so that it holds up well against the fats.
- Melt the Butter:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Once melted, add the heavy cream and whisk together until fully combined. This will create a rich, creamy texture for your popsicles.
- Combine Coffee and Cream Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brewed coffee with the creamy butter mixture. Stir until well blended.
- Sweeten to Taste (Optional):
- If you want to add sweetener, now is the time. Add a little stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol (to your taste) to the mixture. Mix well to dissolve completely.
- Add Vanilla Extract (Optional):
- If you’d like a hint of vanilla flavor, add the vanilla extract and stir.
- Pour into Popsicle Molds:
- Pour the mixture into your popsicle molds. If you don’t have molds, you can use ice cube trays with wooden sticks, or small plastic cups with sticks inserted.
- Freeze:
- Freeze the popsicles for 4-6 hours, or until fully frozen.
- Enjoy:
- Once frozen, remove the popsicles from the molds. If they’re stuck, run warm water over the outside of the molds to loosen them up.
Tips:
- If you’d like a more intense coffee flavor, add a bit more coffee or reduce the liquid by simmering it down before mixing.
- You can also add a pinch of salt for a salted caramel-like flavor (if you’re okay with a little extra seasoning).
- For a more decadent treat, feel free to double the butter or add more cream for a richer, fuller taste.
Enjoy your Carnivore Coffee Popsicles – a refreshing, creamy, and satisfying treat with a nice caffeine boost!
I thought sweetener wasn’t allowed
