2-Ingredient Carnivore Ice Cream

This easy and creamy carnivore ice cream requires only two animal-based ingredients, making it the perfect dessert for strict carnivores. It’s rich, satisfying, and completely guilt-free!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups heavy cream (preferably grass-fed, full-fat)
  • 4 large egg yolks

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Base:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are smooth and slightly thickened. Set aside.

2. Heat the Cream:

  • Pour the heavy cream into a small saucepan and heat it over medium heat until it’s hot but not boiling (around 175°F or 80°C). You’ll see steam rising, and small bubbles will form around the edges of the pan.

3. Temper the Egg Yolks:

  • Slowly pour a small amount of the hot cream into the egg yolks while whisking constantly. This will gradually bring the yolks up to temperature without cooking them.
  • Once combined, pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining cream, stirring constantly.

4. Cook the Mixture:

  • Continue cooking the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (around 180°F or 82°C). Do not let it boil.

5. Chill the Mixture:

  • Remove the mixture from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2–3 hours, or until completely chilled.

6. Churn the Ice Cream:

  • Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish, place it in the freezer, and stir every 30 minutes for about 2–3 hours until it’s creamy and frozen.

7. Serve or Freeze:

  • Serve the ice cream immediately for a soft-serve texture or transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for 2–4 hours for a firmer consistency.

Optional Additions (for variety):

  • Crispy bacon bits for a sweet-savory twist
  • Beef tallow drizzle for extra fat
  • Raw cream cheese blended into the base for a cheesecake-like flavor

Pro Tips:

  • Ultra Creamy Texture: Use the freshest and highest-quality heavy cream and eggs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Storage: Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 5 days. Let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.

This 2-Ingredient Carnivore Ice Cream is a luscious treat for hot days or any time you crave a rich, indulgent dessert. Enjoy! 🍦🥚
