Honey Ice Cream

5 ingredients
8 steps

Ingredients

  • 5/8 cup strong honey (such as avocado, eucalyptus, or sage), plus extra for drizzling
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

  1. 1
    In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together honey and egg yolks until smooth.
  2. 2
    Add milk and cream, and whisk until smooth.
  3. 3
    Place saucepan over medium heat, and stir continuously for about 10-15 minutes until a custard forms. The mixture should be 160°-170°F (71°-77°C); without a thermometer, the custard should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, and should leave a clean line when swiped with a finger. When finished, stir in the salt.
  4. 4
    Pass the mixture through a sieve into a sealable container to catch any bits of curdled egg.
  5. 5
    Place container into the refrigerator until very cold, preferably overnight.
  6. 6
    Process in ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions.
  7. 7
    Though this ice cream can be served soft, freeze for a couple of hours for better texture.
  8. 8
    When ready to serve, drizzle over some of the same honey used in the recipe.
