Alaskan ice cream
Alaskan ice cream is a dessert made by the Alaska Native groups of Alaskan Athabaskans, Iñupiat, and Yup'ik.
It is traditionally made of whipped fat or tallow and meat mixed with berries or mild sweeteners such as roots of Indian potato or wild carrot, mixed and whipped with a whisk. It may also include tundra greens. There is also a kind of akutaq which is called snow akutaq. The most common recipes for Indian ice cream consist of dried and pulverized moose or caribou tenderloin that is blended with moose fat until the mixture is light and fluffy. It may be eaten unfrozen or frozen, and in the latter case it somewhat resembles commercial ice cream.
"Ice cream songs" used to be sung during the preparation of Alaskan Athabascan Indian ice cream.
