Carnivore Diet Peaches & Cream Ice Cream
This peaches and cream ice cream is a luscious treat ideal for summer, blending the sweetness of ripe peaches with a rich, velvety cream base. While not strictly carnivore, this recipe can be enjoyed as a creamy indulgence with fresh fruit, making it a perfect complement to flexible carnivore diet recipes.
Equipment
- Ice cream maker (optional)
- Small saucepan
- Mixing bowls
Ingredients
- 3 medium peaches peeled, pitted, and chopped into ½-inch pieces
- ¼ cup honey plus 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 cups milk
- 1½ cups heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, cook the chopped peaches over low heat just until they begin to soften and release their juices. Remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, combine the cooked peaches with 2 tablespoons of honey and lemon juice. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill.
- In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Add the milk, heavy cream, salt, vanilla, and the remaining ¼ cup of honey, whisking until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate this mixture for at least 1 hour to chill.
- Once chilled, gently stir the peach mixture into the cream mixture.
- Pour the combined mixture into an ice cream maker (1½- to 2-quart size) and churn following the manufacturer’s guidelines.
- After churning, move the ice cream into a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze until the texture is firm, which typically takes at least 30 minutes.
- For storage, keep any leftovers sealed in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- No Ice Cream Maker? Pour the chilled mixture into a freezer-safe dish. Stir in the peaches and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes for about 3 hours until firm.
- Alternative Mixing Method: A blender can be used in place of whisking the ingredients. Some froth may appear but will settle as the ice cream freezes.
- Substitution: You can swap honey for pure maple syrup if desired.
