Enjoy a rich and creamy frozen treat without the need for an ice cream maker! This No Churn Carnivore Ice Cream uses simple, animal-based ingredients for a decadent dessert. The vanilla and orange zest are completely optional, but they lend a subtle flavor that complements the creamy texture.
Ingredients:
- 7 egg yolks
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tsp orange zest (optional)
Instructions
- Chill Your Mixing Equipment
- Place a metal bowl and your whisk or beaters in the freezer for about 15 minutes. This helps everything whip up faster.
- Combine Ingredients
- In the chilled metal bowl, add the egg yolks, heavy cream, salt, and any optional flavorings like vanilla or orange zest.
- Whip the Mixture (Round 1)
- Using an electric mixer (or whisk if you don’t mind the arm workout), whip the mixture on medium-high speed for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes light, airy, and thickened.
- Freeze (Round 1)
- Transfer the whipped mixture to a freezer-safe container.
- Freeze for 3 hours.
- Whip Again (Round 2)
- Remove the partially frozen mixture from the freezer.
- Return it to your chilled bowl (re-chill the bowl briefly if it has warmed up).
- Whip again until smooth and creamy. This step breaks up ice crystals and improves texture.
- Repeat as Desired
- For an even smoother consistency, you can repeat the freeze-and-whip process one more time or until you reach your preferred texture.
- Final Freeze
- After the last round of whipping, freeze the ice cream until it’s firm enough to scoop, usually another 2-3 hours, or overnight.
- Serve
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes if it’s too hard to scoop.
- Serve and enjoy immediately.
Tips:
- Serving Suggestions: Top your ice cream with a sprinkle of additional orange zest or a pinch of flaky salt for extra flavor.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals and enjoy within 1-2 weeks for the best quality.
- Carnivore-Friendly: Skip any sweeteners—rely on the natural sweetness of the cream and egg yolks for a rich, indulgent treat.

Could you use a ninja creami to preform the whip process?
