Carnivore Caramel Milkshake Recipe

Introduction

If you’re following a carnivore or animal-based diet, you don’t have to miss out on creamy, indulgent treats! This Carnivore Caramel Milkshake is a rich, satisfying dessert drink that’s entirely made from animal-based ingredients—no plants, no sugar, just pure, delicious decadence.

This shake takes the essence of a traditional caramel milkshake but transforms it into a nutrient-dense, zero-plant version using eggs, cream, butter, and collagen. The natural sweetness comes from gently browned butter and the rich flavor of caramelized dairy fats, giving you a luxurious taste without the carbs.

Perfect for a post-meal treat or a high-fat snack, this milkshake delivers energy, satiety, and pure comfort in every sip. You’ll be amazed that something so simple, wholesome, and animal-based can taste this good.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream (or raw cream if available)

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 1 large egg (optional, adds creaminess and protein)

• 1 scoop unflavored or vanilla collagen powder or beef isolate protein

• ¼ teaspoon sea salt (for a salted caramel flavor)

Optional Sweetness (for less strict versions)

• 1 teaspoon allulose, monk fruit, or stevia (optional, for added sweetness—omit for strict carnivore)

How to Make Carnivore Caramel Milkshake

1. Brown the Butter:
   In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until it turns golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma—this is your “carnivore caramel” flavor base. Be careful not to burn it.

2. Cool Slightly:
   Remove from heat and let the browned butter cool for 1–2 minutes.

3. Blend Everything Together:
   Add the heavy cream, browned butter, egg (if using), collagen powder, salt, and vanilla (if using) into a blender. Blend on high for 20–30 seconds until smooth and frothy.

4. Taste and Adjust:
   Taste the shake and add your optional sweetener if desired. Blend again for a few seconds.

5. Serve and Enjoy:
   Pour into a chilled glass. For extra indulgence, top with a small dollop of whipped cream made from heavy cream only. Serve immediately!

Notes

• Egg safety: Use pasteurized eggs if you’re concerned about raw egg consumption.

• Temperature tip: For a colder, thicker shake, add a few ice cubes before blending or chill your ingredients beforehand.

• Dairy-free carnivore variant: Substitute heavy cream with beef tallow milk (blend tallow with warm water, then chill before using).

• Boost nutrition: Add extra collagen or a spoon of melted suet for more healthy animal fats.

FAQs

Q1: Can I drink this every day on a carnivore diet?
Yes, but treat it as a rich dessert or energy-dense snack rather than a daily staple due to the high fat content.

Q2: What if I don’t tolerate dairy?
Use rendered beef tallow or ghee in place of butter and blend with warm water instead of cream for a dairy-free carnivore shake.

Q3: Can I make it without eggs?
Absolutely. The egg just adds creaminess and protein but is optional.

Q4: What’s the difference between this and a keto milkshake?
A keto shake often includes plant-based ingredients like sweeteners or almond milk, while a carnivore shake is entirely animal-based.
