🥩🍨 Carnivore Ice Cream (No Sugar, All Fat & Protein)
This indulgent ice cream is perfect for anyone following a carnivore or keto diet — it’s smooth, fatty, and satisfying while keeping carbs at zero. It tastes so good, it can even fool the kids!
🧈 Ingredients
-
8 large egg yolks
-
2 cups heavy cream (or raw cream if available)
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
½ teaspoon Celtic sea salt
-
(Optional) 1–2 tablespoons butter or beef tallow for extra fat richness
🍳 Instructions
-
Heat the cream:
In a saucepan, warm the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to steam — don’t let it boil. -
Whisk the yolks:
In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks until smooth. -
Temper the eggs:
Slowly pour half of the hot cream into the yolks while whisking continuously (this prevents the eggs from scrambling). -
Cook until thick:
Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens slightly (it should coat the back of a spoon). -
Add flavor:
Stir in vanilla extract and Celtic salt. -
Cool down:
Let it cool completely, then chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours (overnight is best). -
Churn it:
Pour into your ice cream maker and churn until creamy and thick.(If you don’t have an ice cream maker, freeze in a container and stir every 30–45 minutes until fully frozen and creamy.)
-
Serve & enjoy:
Scoop into bowls and enjoy your pure Carnivore Ice Cream — rich, cold, and guilt-free!
❄️ Storage
Keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Soften for 5–10 minutes before serving.
💬 Q&A Section
Q1: Can I use whole eggs instead of yolks?
❌ Not recommended — yolks make it creamy and rich. Whole eggs can make it icy.
Q2: Can I add sweetener?
✅ Yes, if you’re keto (not strict carnivore), use erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose.
Q3: What if I don’t have an ice cream maker?
✅ You can freeze and stir manually every 30–45 minutes, or blend in a food processor once frozen for a smooth texture.
Q4: Can I use ghee or butter instead of heavy cream?
✅ You can blend melted butter with water (2:1 ratio) to create a “fat cream” alternative.
Q5: Is this really zero carbs?
🔥 Yes — pure carnivore version has 0g sugar, 0g carbs.
