Carnivore Ice Cream (Creamy, Dairy-Based)!

πŸ„ Carnivore Ice Cream (Creamy, Dairy-Based)

βœ… Ingredients:

  • 2 cups heavy cream

  • 4 egg yolks

  • 2–3 tbsp butter (optional for richness)

  • Optional: 1–2 tsp vanilla extract or collagen powder for flavor/texture

  • Optional: pinch of salt

  • Optional: 1–2 tsp keto sweetener (e.g., allulose, stevia, erythritol) β€” depends on how strict your carnivore approach is


πŸ”ͺ Instructions:

  1. Whisk egg yolks in a bowl until smooth.

  2. Heat heavy cream (and butter if using) in a saucepan over medium heat until just starting to steam β€” don’t boil.

  3. Temper the yolks: Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot cream into the yolks while whisking constantly, then pour the yolk mixture back into the pan with the rest of the cream.

  4. Cook the custard: Stir over low heat until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (about 170Β°F / 77Β°C).

  5. Cool completely in the fridge β€” ideally for a few hours or overnight.

  6. Churn in an ice cream maker (or freeze in a container and stir every 30 mins for a few hours).

  7. Freeze until firm. Let sit out for a few minutes before scooping. Enjoy!

Pour the cooled mixture into a freezer-safe container. Freeze and stir every 30–60 mins for 3–4 hours to reduce ice crystals.
