So-called "Eskimo ice cream" has ingredients that are widely variable depending on availability.

It's certainly not a typical summer dessert!

Known as "akutuq", the basic ingredients are hard fats, sea mammal oil and flavouring from flora or fauna.

Hard fats might be from caribou, bear or muskox, while seals or whales can provide the oils.

Those preparing this "delicacy" are known to adapt their recipes to locally available food sources which may include fresh or saltwater fish and eulachon (candlefish). Snow may also figure in the final mix, along with sugar.
