Equipment

  • Stand mixer
  • Freezer-safe container with a tight-fitting lid

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup tallow at room temperature
  • ½ cup honey
  • 2 large egg yolks optional
  • 2 cups mixed berries

Instructions
 

  • Place the tallow and honey into the bowl of a stand mixer. Whip on medium speed until the mixture becomes light and airy.
  • If you are including egg yolks, add them next and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
  • Gently fold in the mixed berries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  • Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container, seal it tightly, and place it in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours, or until it reaches a firm consistency.
  • Once set, serve and enjoy. Store any remaining ice cream in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Notes

  • If the tallow has been refrigerated, let it rest at room temperature for approximately 2 hours so it softens and becomes easier to whip.
  • While moose fat is traditional in akutaq, tallow serves as a great alternative while keeping the same nutritional benefits.
