Homemade Ice Cream with Bitcoin Beans Cacao & Nibs

This is a simple homemade ice cream recipe for people who don't have an ice cream maker. Using just a bowl and a small hand blender, you can still achieve a thick, fluffy texture similar to traditional churned ice cream. The process works by periodically blending the mixture while it freezes, which keeps ice crystals small and creates a smoother result.

Chef’s notes

Ingredients

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 pint heavy cream (preferably A2 milk cream)
  • 1–2 teaspoons or tablespoons honey
  • 1–2 teaspoons or tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 pinch salt flakes
  • Bitcoin Beans 100% cacao
  • Cacao nibs

Optional - Oshi Hodl Butter of course :)

Equipment

  • Small mixing bowl
  • Hand blender
  • Freezer
  • Plastic wrap or towel for covering the bowl

Instructions

  1. Separate the egg yolks and place them in a small mixing bowl.
  2. Pour in the pint of heavy cream. The cream is key for creating a thick and fluffy ice cream texture.
  3. Add honey and maple syrup (about 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon each, depending on sweetness).
  4. Add a small pinch of salt flakes.
  5. Blend the mixture with a hand blender for about 5 minutes, until it thickens.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a towel and place it in the freezer for about 1 hour.
  7. Remove from the freezer and blend again for 1–2 minutes.
  8. Return to the freezer for another 1–2 hours.
  9. Repeat the freeze-and-blend cycle 1–2 more times to break up ice crystals and create a smoother texture.
  10. During the final blend, mix in the Bitcoin Beans 100% cacao and cacao nibs to taste.
  11. Freeze until firm.

Serving

If frozen overnight, move the bowl to the refrigerator or counter for a short time before serving so it softens slightly and scoops easily.

Enjoy.
