I came up with this recipe because I wanted to create a delicious and refreshing treat that would satisfy my cravings while still being mostly carnivore-friendly. These carnivore coffee popsicles are the perfect solution for those hot summer days when you want something cool and creamy with a kick of caffeine.

The combination of milk, mascarpone cheese, and heavy whipping cream creates a rich and velvety base for the popsicles. The addition of vanilla powder, instant coffee, and a touch of cocoa powder elevates the flavor profile, giving these treats a delightful mocha taste.

While cocoa powder is not strictly carnivore-friendly, the small amount used in this recipe should not be a problem for those who are not following a strict carnivore diet. However, if you prefer to stay completely true to the carnivore lifestyle, feel free to omit the cocoa powder altogether. Let’s get started!

👨‍🍳 How To Make

Step 4

Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze overnight. Enjoy!

💡Tips

1. Whisk Thoroughly to Avoid Clumps

To ensure a smooth and creamy texture in your coffee popsicles, it’s important to whisk the mixture thoroughly and eliminate any clumps. When heating the milk, cocoa powder, instant coffee, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla on low heat, use a wire whisk to stir the ingredients constantly.

Make sure to reach all corners and sides of the pot to prevent any dry ingredients from sticking and forming lumps. If you notice any clumps, use the whisk to break them up and incorporate them into the liquid.

Continue whisking until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined. This extra effort will result in a more enjoyable texture when you bite into your frozen treat.

2. Allow Adequate Cooling Time

After heating the milk mixture, it’s important to let it cool for the recommended 25 minutes before proceeding to the next step. This cooling period serves several purposes.

First, it allows the flavors to meld together and intensify, resulting in a more complex and delightful taste. Second, cooling the mixture prevents it from affecting the texture of the mascarpone cheese when blending.
