🍦 Carnivore Vanilla Ice Cream

A creamy, decadent dessert made with just a few animal-based ingredients!

✅ Servings: 4 | ⏰ Prep Time: 5 min | ❄️ Freeze Time: 2–4 hrs | 🍽️ Total Time: ~4 hrs

🧾 Ingredients:

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream

  • 4 large egg yolks

  • 2 tbsp butter (optional, for richness)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, omit for strict carnivore)

  • Sweetener of choice (optional – stevia, allulose, or skip for strict carnivore)

  • Pinch of salt

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

STEP 1: Warm the Base

  1. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the cream and butter (if using). Heat gently until warm, not boiling.

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks until smooth.

STEP 2: Temper the Yolks

  1. Slowly pour a bit of the warm cream into the yolks while whisking continuously to temper them.

  2. Then pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the cream.

STEP 3: Thicken the Custard

  1. Cook on low, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly (it should coat the back of a spoon).

  2. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla (if using), sweetener (if using), and a pinch of salt.

STEP 4: Chill and Freeze

  1. Let cool completely, then pour into a container and freeze for 2–4 hours (stir every hour if not using an ice cream maker).
    OR churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

🥄 Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve soft-serve style after 2 hours, or freeze overnight for a firmer scoop.

  • Top with crispy bacon bits or whipped cream for a carnivore-approved twist! 🥓🍦

💡 Tips:

  • Use duck egg yolks for extra richness.

  • Skip vanilla & sweetener for strict carnivore – it’s still delicious thanks to the natural sweetness of cream and yolks.
