Ingredients:
- 8 oz heavy cream (preferably from grass-fed cows)
- 8 oz whole milk (if possible, opt for full-fat milk from a local farm or a natural source)
- 2 large egg yolks (ensure they’re pasture-raised for the best flavor and quality)
- ½ tsp salt (Himalayan pink salt or sea salt for best results)
Directions:
- Prepare Your Ice Cream Base: In a medium glass or metal bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, egg yolks, and salt. This is where you bring everything together. Make sure the mixture is smooth and free from lumps, creating a velvety base for your ice cream.
- Create an Ice Bath: Fill a larger bowl with ice and salt to create an ice bath. This will help keep your mixture cool and help thicken it as you beat it. The salt helps the ice stay colder for a longer period, so it’s key to making the process quicker.
- Hand Mix Until Thickened: Place your bowl with the mixture into the larger bowl filled with ice and salt. Using a hand mixer, start whisking the mixture at a low to medium speed. Continue to mix until the mixture begins to thicken. This could take a few minutes, so be patient and keep mixing. You should see the cream start to hold its shape and become more substantial.
- Optional – Freeze for Extra Creaminess: For an even smoother texture, after it thickens, place the bowl in the freezer for about an hour. Once it’s frozen slightly, take it out and give it another quick mix using the hand mixer. This helps break up any ice crystals that may have formed and ensures the final product is creamy and smooth.
- Freeze and Firm Up: After mixing for the second time, transfer the mixture into a container that can be sealed tightly. You can use a pint-sized container or any freezer-safe bowl. Put it in the freezer and let it firm up for 4-6 hours, or until the desired ice cream consistency is achieved.
- Serve and Enjoy! Scoop out this rich and creamy carnivore ice cream and serve. Enjoy the pure, indulgent flavor that’s both satisfying and guilt-free!
Customization for Keto or Flavor Variations: While this is a perfect base for carnivores or anyone wanting a clean, simple treat, you can get creative if you’re also following a keto lifestyle or want to add more flavor to your family’s version. Here are some ideas:
- Add vanilla extract for a rich, classic flavor (though not carnivore-friendly).
- Mix in a handful of crushed nuts like macadamia or pecans for a keto-friendly crunch.
- Add chocolate chips or unsweetened cocoa powder to make it a chocolatey delight.
- For sweetness, you can add your choice of sweetener like erythritol or stevia.
