👨🍳 How To Make
Follow these steps to make the best carnivore ice cream:
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the brown butter with the egg yolks. Whisk until well combined.
Step 2
Meanwhile, add the heavy cream, salt, and coffee into a saucepan on low heat. Mix and continue stirring until it thickens. You want it to heat until it just simmers – don’t let it simmer and bubble.
Step 3
Start slowly pouring the hot mixture into the egg and butter mixture (from step 1) while mixing (it should be well combined).
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to a saucepan (you can use the same one from step 2), and heat on medium-low until it thickens (but don’t let it simmer). Continue mixing until it coats the spoon (it should take about 10-15 minutes).
Step 5
Turn off the heat and add the vanilla. Mix well. Then, place a mesh strainer into a large bowl. Pour the ice cream base through.
Step 6
Allow it to cool for 15 minutes and then cover and refrigerate overnight.
Step 7
Pour the ice cream base into the ice cream maker and turn it on according to your ice cream maker instructions. Enjoy!
💡Tips
1. Strain the Ice Cream Base
After cooking the ice cream base and adding the vanilla extract, it’s important to strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. This step ensures a silky-smooth texture by removing any bits of cooked egg, clumps, or impurities that may have formed during the cooking process.
Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large, clean bowl and pour the ice cream base through it. Use a spatula to press the mixture through the sieve, ensuring that all the smooth liquid passes through while any unwanted solids are caught in the strainer.
2. Churn and Freeze
Once your ice cream base is thoroughly chilled, it’s time to churn it in your ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific machine, as churning times and procedures may vary.
In general, pour the chilled base into the ice cream maker and churn until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, which usually takes 20-30 minutes. At this point, you can enjoy your ice cream as a soft-serve treat, or transfer it to a freezer-safe container for a firmer texture.
