About this dish

Alaskan ice cream (also known as Alaska Native ice cream, Alaskan Indian ice cream, Native ice cream, or Indian ice cream, and Inuit-Yupik varieties of which are known as Inuit ice cream, akutaq/akutuq, or Eskimo 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 (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.
