'''Eskimo ice cream''' (also known as '''Alaskan Indian ice cream''', '''Inuit ice cream''', '''Indian ice cream''' or '''Native ice cream''', and [[Inuit]]-[[Yupik peoples|Yupik]] varieties of which are known as '''''akutaq''''' or '''''akutuq''''') is a [[dessert]] made by [[Alaskan Athabaskans]] and other [[Alaska Native]]s. |

⚫ | It is traditionally made of whipped [[fat]] or [[tallow]] (e.g. [[caribou]], [[moose]], or [[walrus]] tallow, or seal oil) and meat (such as [[dried fish]], especially [[Esox lucius|pike]], [[Stenodus nelma|sheefish or inconnu]], [[Coregonus|whitefish or cisco]], or [[Prosopium|freshwater whitefishes]], or dried [[Alces alces gigas|moose]] or [[Rangifer tarandus granti|caribou]]) mixed with [[berries]] (especially [[Vaccinium vitis-idaea|cowberry]], [[Vaccinium uliginosum|bilberry]], ''[[Vaccinium oxycoccos]]'' or other [[Cranberry|cranberries]], [[Arctostaphylos uva-ursi|bearberry]], [[Empetrum nigrum|crowberry]], [[Rubus spectabilis|salmonberry]], [[Rubus chamaemorus|cloudberry or low-bush salmonberry]], [[Rubus strigosus|raspberry]], [[blueberry]], or [[Rosa acicularis|prickly rose]]) or mild [[Sugar substitute|sweeteners]] such as roots of [[Hedysarum alpinum|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 (traditionally in a [[birch bark]] container) 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.<ref>Priscilla Russell Kari, ''Tanaina Plantlore, Dena'ina K'et'una'' (1987), p. 61.</ref> |

Eskimo ice cream (also known as Alaskan Indian ice cream, Inuit ice cream, Indian ice cream or Native ice cream, and Inuit-Yupik varieties of which are known as akutaq or akutuq) is a dessert made by Alaskan Athabaskans and other Alaska Natives.
It is traditionally made of whipped fat or tallow (e.g. caribou, moose, or walrus tallow, or seal oil) and meat (such as dried fish, especially pike, sheefish or inconnu, whitefish or cisco, or freshwater whitefishes, or dried moose or caribou) mixed with berries (especially cowberry, bilberry, Vaccinium oxycoccos or other cranberries, bearberry, crowberry, salmonberry, cloudberry or low-bush salmonberry, raspberry, blueberry, or prickly rose) 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 (traditionally in a birch bark container) 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.[1]
It is not to be confused with Canadian Indian ice cream (or sxusem) of First Nations in British Columbia, nor with kulfi (Indian ice cream) from the Indian Subcontinent.
"Ice cream songs" used to be sung during the preparation of Alaskan Athabascan Indian ice cream.[2]
