What is Carnivore Ice Cream?

This recipe is extremely high in fats and proteins and would be most appropriate for those following ketogenic, carnivore, or low-carb high-fat diets.

Carnivore ice cream is a niche culinary creation that caters to those following a carnivorous diet. This diet emphasizes eating animal products while excluding plant-based foods. The idea behind carnivore ice cream is to provide a treat that aligns with this lifestyle while offering a creative twist on traditional ice cream.

Unlike regular ice cream, which is typically made from milk, sugar, and flavorings, carnivore ice cream is crafted using animal-based ingredients. Common components include raw or cooked beef, liver, bone marrow, eggs, and animal fats like tallow or lard. These ingredients are blended with heavy cream or butter to achieve a rich, creamy texture.

How is it Different from Regular Ice Cream?

• No plant-based ingredients – No sugar, artificial sweeteners, or fiber-based additives.
• Higher in fat – Designed to support ketosis and energy needs.
• Richer & Denser – Due to the heavy use of egg yolks and cream.

• 2 egg yolks - Adds creaminess, richness, and natural emulsification.
• 1 tablespoon of animal fat (tallow or lard) - Enhances the fat content and gives extra creaminess.

Tips for Carnivore Ice Cream

1. Use high-quality, grass-fed beef, liver, and bone marrow whenever possible. These ingredients are not only more nutrient-dense but also tend to have a better flavor profile.
2. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can increase the amount of heavy cream or butter. Alternatively, for a more solid ice cream, reduce the heavy cream and increase the animal fat.
