🥩 Carnivore Ice Cream (No Mixer Needed)
🍦 Ingredients:
-
4 large egg yolks (pastured or high-quality)
-
1 cup heavy cream (ideally raw or grass-fed)
-
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
-
Optional: Pinch of salt
-
Optional sweetener (for ketovore version): A few drops of liquid stevia, monk fruit, or 1–2 tsp allulose (technically not 100% carnivore)
🍳 Instructions:
-
Warm the cream (gently):
In a small saucepan, warm the heavy cream on low heat until just steamy — do not boil. Remove from heat. -
Temper the yolks:
In a bowl, whisk your egg yolks. Slowly add a few spoonfuls of warm cream to the yolks while whisking constantly (this prevents scrambling). Then gradually mix in the rest of the cream. -
Add butter:
Stir in your melted butter until fully incorporated. Add salt or optional sweetener if desired. -
Cool the mixture:
Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 1–2 hours (or place in the freezer for 30 minutes to speed it up). -
Freeze (no churn method):
Pour the chilled mixture into a shallow dish or small container. Freeze for 30 minutes, then stir with a fork or spoon to break up ice crystals. Repeat every 30 minutes for about 2–3 hours until creamy and firm. -
Serve:
Let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping. Enjoy straight or top with crumbled pork rinds or bacon bits for extra carnivore flair.
🍽️ Notes:
-
You can omit the butter if you prefer a lighter version.
-
The stirring step while freezing prevents it from becoming rock-solid (like old-school ice cream making).
-
This is ultra-rich — you likely won’t need much to feel satisfied.
