🧾 Ingredients

For the Ice Cream Base:

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup whole milk (optional, or replace with more cream for strict carnivore)

  • 3 egg yolks

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • ½ cup very finely blended cooked ground beef (smooth paste)

  • Pinch of salt

For the Topping:

  • 4–5 slices bacon (crispy & crumbled)

  • 2 tbsp beef fat (tallow) or butter (for drizzle)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef

  • Cook ground beef until fully done.

2. Make the Custard Base

  • In a bowl, whisk egg yolks.

  • Slowly pour warm cream into yolks (tempering), whisking constantly.

  • Return mixture to low heat and stir until slightly thickened (do not boil).

3. Combine

  • Stir in the beef paste and a pinch of salt.

  • Blend again if needed for ultra-smooth texture.

4. Chill

  • Let mixture cool completely.

  • Refrigerate for 2–4 hours until very cold.

5. Churn / Freeze

  • Churn in an ice cream maker according to instructions
    OR

  • Freeze in a container, stirring every 30–45 minutes for 3–4 hours to prevent ice crystals.

6. Prepare Toppings

  • Cook bacon until crispy, then crumble.

  • Melt beef fat or butter for drizzling.

7. Serve

  • Scoop ice cream into a bowl.

  • Top with crispy bacon and drizzle with warm fat/butter.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Serve slightly softened for best texture.

  • Pair with extra bacon on the side for crunch.

  • Great as a post-meal carnivore dessert or novelty dish.
