Paleo Ice Cream!

AKA "bulletproof" ice cream, from bulletproof executive


Paleo Ice Cream

Ingredients
  • 4 whole eggs (pastured of course)
  • 4 yolks (in addition to the whole eggs above)
  • 2 tsp vanilla 
  • 1 gram vitamin C (ascorbic acid) or 10 drops apple cider vinegar or lime juice to taste.
  • 100 grams (7 tbs) grass-fed butter
  • 100 grams (7tbs) coconut oil
  • 50 grams (3tbs + 2tsp) MCT oil (important for consistency)
  • 80 grams (5.5tbs) xylitol or erythritol (or more to taste – you can add up to 160 grams if you want)
  • OR raw honey and/or stevia....
  • ice (just under 1/2 cup; add less than you think you need, then increase the amount).
Methods
  1. Blend everything but the water/ice in blender. It takes a while to get the butter blended into perfect creaminess.
  2. Add water or ice and blend some more until well blended. Ideally, you want a yogurt-like consistency for creamy ice cream, or add more water for a firmer, icier texture
  3. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and turn it on.
This will make perfect consistency ice cream. 


I mean, what could be better than a perfectly healthy ice cream??  Party down!!

Paleo ice cream!

Here is how, if someone in your household insists on a sweet treat, you cope with that demand in a sane, and healthy manner!

You load up the Vitamix blender with 1 cup of whipping cream, 1/2 cup of stevia (I used Truvia brand), 4 cups of ice cubes, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (I forgot, but it tasted great anyway!)...

It takes a grand total of about 30 seconds blending time, and another 10 rounding up the ingredients.

I don't think I'll ever buy sugar-loaded ice cream again!

Why would I, really?  As Barney Fife, Renaisance man put it:

"Carbohydrates and Glucose!"


THAT is what is destroying our health! 

It's not fat, it's not red meat, it's not bacon and coconut oil....

It's carbohydrates and glucose!!!


Thanks Barn.
