Carnivore Ice cream

Here’s a simple yet indulgent Carnivore Ice Cream recipe that fits perfectly within a zero-carb lifestyle. This rich and creamy dessert is made with just a few animal-based ingredients, delivering maximum flavor while keeping things ultra-low-carb.

Ingredients

• 4 large egg yolks
• 2 cups heavy cream (raw or pasture-raised if possible)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tbsp beef gelatin (optional, for a thicker texture)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, if you allow small plant-based additions)
• 1–2 tbsp raw honey (optional, for a slightly sweet taste)
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the custard:

   • In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth.
   • In a saucepan over low heat, warm the heavy cream, melted butter, and salt until it’s hot but not boiling.

2. Temper the eggs:

   • Slowly pour the warm cream into the egg yolks while whisking constantly. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.

3. Thicken the mixture:

   • Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and heat on low, stirring continuously until it thickens slightly (around 160°F).
   • If using gelatin, dissolve it in a tablespoon of warm water and stir it into the custard.

4. Cool and freeze:

   • Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
   • Transfer to a container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results).

5. Churn or freeze:

   • If using an ice cream maker, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
   • If not, place the mixture in the freezer and stir every 30 minutes until creamy (about 3-4 hours).

6. Serve & enjoy!

   • Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.

   • Tips for the Best Carnivore Ice Cream:

     This ice cream is an excellent way to enjoy a carnivore-friendly dessert while staying on track with your dietary goals. Enjoy! 🍨🥩
