About Agutuk, meat-caribou (Alaskan ice cream) (Alaska Native)

Akutaq, known in English as Eskimo ice cream, is a traditional dish of the Yupik and other Alaska Native peoples, its name meaning something mixed. Far from a modern frozen dessert, it is made by whipping animal fat, traditionally reindeer, caribou, moose, or seal, until light and fluffy, then folding in wild berries such as cloudberries, salmonberries, crowberries, blueberries, and cranberries. Some versions include fish, roots, or a little sugar, and today vegetable shortening often stands in for the traditional fats.

Deeply nourishing, akutaq was a high-energy food ideal for the harsh Arctic climate, combining the calories and fat needed for warmth with the vitamin C and antioxidants of foraged berries. It remains an important celebratory and community food served at gatherings and potlatches across western Alaska. Prepared fresh and eaten cold, akutaq is best enjoyed soon after it is made, with the tart berries balancing the richness of the whipped fat.
