    How to Make 2 Ingredient Carnivore Ice Cream – Step by Step

     

    Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

    
    First, gather your ingredients. It’s crucial to use cold heavy whipping cream as it helps with the whipping process. If you’re using a sweetener, measure it to taste.
    
    

    Step 2: Combine Ingredients

    
    In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. If you’re using a sweetener, add it at this stage to incorporate smoothly.
    
    

    Step 3: Whip the Cream

    
    Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip the cream mixture until it forms soft peaks. This process usually takes about 3-4 minutes. Keep an eye on your mixture — you want soft, fluffy peaks.
    
    TIPS: To speed up this process, chill your mixing bowl and beaters beforehand.
    
    

    Step 4: Freeze the Mixture

    
    Once the desired consistency is achieved, transfer the whipped cream to an airtight container. Seal it tightly to prevent any freezer burn and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until firm.
    
    

    Step 5: Scoop and Serve

    
    After freezing, your ice cream should be firm and creamy. Scoop it into bowls or cones, and enjoy your homemade, low-carb treat!
