Carnivore Ice Cream Recipe

Yes — Carnivore Ice Cream is real! Made entirely from animal-based ingredients like egg yolks, heavy cream, and butter, this zero-carb frozen treat fits perfectly into a carnivore or keto diet. It’s rich, satisfying, and surprisingly delicious.

Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream (preferably raw or grass-fed)
• 4 egg yolks
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• Optional: 1–2 tbsp beef gelatin (for texture)
• Optional: 1–2 tbsp raw honey or egg white powder (if you're okay with minimal carbs)
• Pinch of salt
• Optional topping: crushed pork rinds or beef crumbles

Directions

1. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter into the heavy cream. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks.
2. Slowly pour a bit of the warm cream into the yolks while whisking. Then pour yolk mixture back into the saucepan.
3. Stir constantly over low heat until thickened (about 8–10 minutes). Do not boil. Remove from heat and let cool.
4. Refrigerate the custard for at least 2 hours until cold.
5. With Ice Cream Maker: Churn according to instructions.
6. Without Machine: Freeze in a container, stirring every 30 minutes for 2–3 hours to prevent ice crystals.
7. Scoop and enjoy! Optionally top with crispy bits of bacon or jerky for a crunchy finish.
