Craving a rich, creamy dessert that aligns perfectly with your carnivore lifestyle? This easy carnivore-friendly ice cream is made with only two main ingredients—heavy cream and egg yolks—delivering pure indulgence without plant-based additives or sugars. Let’s dive into this nutrient-dense, delicious treat!
Why Choose Carnivore Ice Cream
- Carnivore-Friendly: No sugar, carbs, or plant-based ingredients—just wholesome animal-sourced goodness.
- Simple Ingredients: Made with just heavy cream and egg yolks, ensuring a rich, velvety texture.
- Nutrient-Dense: Packed with healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals to support your lifestyle.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups (350 ml) heavy cream (preferably grass-fed)
- 4 egg yolks (organic, pasture-raised)
Optional: A pinch of sea salt or a splash of carnivore-friendly vanilla extract for added flavor.
Instructions
1. Whip the Heavy Cream
- Use an electric mixer or hand whisk to whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. The cream should hold its shape when the whisk is lifted. This creates the fluffy base of the ice cream.
2. Beat the Egg Yolks
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they become pale, fluffy, and creamy. This process incorporates air, contributing to the smooth, silky texture of the ice cream.
3. Combine the Mixtures
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the beaten egg yolks using a spatula. Be careful to preserve the airiness of the whipped cream while achieving a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
4. Transfer and Freeze
- Pour the mixture into a 1-quart (1-liter) freezer-safe container. Smooth the surface with a spatula and cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent ice crystals.
- Freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to set fully.
5. Serve and Enjoy
- Remove the ice cream from the freezer 20–30 minutes before serving to allow it to soften. Scoop into bowls and savor the rich, creamy delight!
Tips for Succes
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: Grass-fed heavy cream and pasture-raised eggs enhance the flavor and nutritional profile.
- Experiment with Add-Ons: Add a pinch of sea salt, a drizzle of melted butter, or even bacon bits for a unique twist.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container and enjoy within a week for the best texture and flavor.
