Ingredients:

• 8 egg yolks 🥚
• 2 cups heavy cream 🧴
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🍦
• 1/2 teaspoon Celtic salt 🧂
• Optional: Honey (for drizzling on top, if desired) 🍯

Instructions:

1. Whisk Egg Yolks: Start by separating 8 egg yolks from their whites. Place the yolks into a cold metal bowl. Whisk them for about 2-3 minutes until they become smooth and slightly thickened. The cold bowl helps the egg yolks incorporate air and create a creamier texture. This step is essential for the custard-like base of the ice cream.
2. Add Heavy Cream & Vanilla: To the egg yolks, add 2 cups of heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. The heavy cream will provide that luscious, rich texture, while the vanilla will give it a sweet, comforting flavor. Next, sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of Celtic salt. The salt helps balance the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor, giving your ice cream a more rounded, savory profile.
3. Whip the Mixture: Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture for around 10 minutes. You’re aiming for a thick, airy consistency. This step ensures your ice cream will have that smooth, creamy texture. The mixture should fluff up as you incorporate air into the cream.
4. Freeze: Once your mixture is well whipped, transfer it to a container that’s safe for freezing. Place it in the freezer for 3 hours to allow it to firm up.
5. Whip Again: After the initial freezing period, remove the mixture from the freezer. Using a hand mixer, whip the mixture for about 1-2 minutes. This helps to prevent ice crystals from forming, ensuring a smoother, creamier texture.
6. Freeze Again: Place the whipped mixture back into the freezer and let it freeze for another 3 hours.
7. Final Whip: After the second freezing period, whip the mixture again for a final time. This final whip ensures the texture is perfect, smooth, and fluffy.
8. Serve & Enjoy: After the final whip, scoop your homemade carnivore ice cream into bowls or cups. If you want to add a little extra sweetness, drizzle some honey on top (optional but highly recommended for a touch of natural sweetness!). Let it freeze for another hour or two to firm up, then enjoy your delicious treat!
