Frozen Honey Cream Recipes

HONEY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk the egg yolks together in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
• Heat the cream, milk, honey, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium to medium high heat, stirring occasionally, until it is just barely starting to simmer.
• Remove from the stovetop and temper the egg yolks by slowly pouring a little bit of the hot cream mixture over them, whisking it in as you pour it. Then add the egg yolk mixture to the saucepan and return to the stovetop, again whisking the mixture together as you pour.
• Cook over medium or medium-low heat for 10-12 more minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened. If you are used to making custard-based ice creams, this recipe does not thicken quite as much as others I have made, as the honey keeps it relatively thin, but it should thicken somewhat.
• Pour the custard over a fine mesh strainer, to catch any bits of egg, into a container for chilling. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
• Cover and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Churn ice cream in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Smooth the ice cream into a freezer safe container and freeze for at least a few hours before enjoying. Best within a couple days.

VANILLA HONEY CUSTARD ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine egg yolks, honey, whole milk, and salt and whisk well. Heat over medium heat until bubbles just begin to form, whisking often at first and then constantly as mixture begins to get warm.
• Remove saucepan from heat and gently stir in whipping cream and vanilla extract. Cool to touch. Give the mixture a good stir and then cover with plastic wrap. Press plastic wrap directly over mixture so it doesn't develop a film on top. Then chill in the refrigerator for 6 hours or up to 24 hours.
• Process ice cream in your ice cream maker following the manufacturers instructions. Scrape mixture into a container with a lid. Freeze ice cream for at least 2 hours before serving or up to a week.

HONEY VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium pan, heat the milk and vanilla bean to simmering. Do not boil. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, brown sugar, honey, and salt until light colored and frothy. While whisking constantly, slowly combine the hot milk with the egg mixture. Transfer the mixture back to the sauce pan. Cook over medium heat until mixture reaches 180 degrees Fahrenheit (82 degrees Celsius) when tested with a candy thermometer, or becomes thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Remove from heat.
• Remove the vanilla bean from the mixture and reserve. Strain custard into a large bowl. Scrape seeds from the vanilla bean into the custard. (Vanilla bean pod may be used again.) Stir the heavy cream into the custard. Cover the surface of the custard with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours.
• When cold, freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions.
