A delightful ice cream featuring the sweet notes of honey perfectly complemented by a touch of salt for a balanced, gourmet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and honey. Heat over medium heat until warm, stirring occasionally. Do not boil.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale.
  3. Slowly temper the egg yolks by gradually whisking about half a cup of the warm cream mixture into the yolks.
  4. Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture.
  5. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. Do not let it boil.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the salt and vanilla extract.
  7. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl.
  8. Cover the surface of the custard with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  9. Pour the chilled custard into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  10. Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to firm up before serving.
  11. Before serving, sprinkle with a little extra flaky sea salt if desired.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use wildflower honey.
  • Ensure your custard is completely chilled before churning for the best texture.
  • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the custard in a shallow container, stirring vigorously every 30 minutes for the first 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals.
