Honey Chocolate Ice Cream Recipes

HONEY CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine honey and cocoa powder in a medium sauce pan; stir to incorporate.
• Add the butter, turn the heat to low on the pan, and continually stir to combine.
• Turn off the heat once most of the butter has melted and continue stirring until the butter is fully incorporated.
• Add the cream a little at a time, stirring after each addition, to fully incorporate the chocolate sauce.
• Add the whole milk; stir to combine.
• Refrigerate for 2+ hours.
• Follow the instructions on your model of ice cream maker and enjoy!

VANILLA ICE CREAM WITH HONEY

Steps:

• Heat the cream, milk, honey and vanilla beans and seeds in a heavy saucepan over medium heat until hot, being careful not to let the mixture boil and curdle.
• Lightly whisk the egg yolks in a medium heatproof bowl, then slowly drizzle 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the yolks while whisking. Pour the yolk mixture into the saucepan of cream; heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens slightly and coats the back of a wooden spoon, again being careful not to let it boil and curdle.
• Pour through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the vanilla beans and any bits of cooked egg yolk. Stir in the vanilla extract. Cover the custard with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, about 6 hours. You can speed this process dramatically by partially submerging the bowl of custard in a larger bowl of ice water to form an ice bath and stirring the custard occasionally until cold. The colder the custard is, the faster the machine will be able to freeze it for ice cream.
• Follow the directions on your ice cream maker to freeze. Once the mixture is frozen, put it into containers and allow it to "ripen" for at least 2 hours in the freezer.

HONEY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Heat milk to boiling point in a saucepan. Cover pan and remove from heat. Whisk egg yolks and honey together in a bowl until thickened. Stir in vanilla and cinnamon. Slowly pour hot milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to a saucepan and cook over a low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until thickened slightly (coating the back of the spoon). Do not allow to boil.
• Allow custard to cool to room temperature. Loosely cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold (a minimum of 3 hours).
• Freeze in an ice cream maker until just beginning to set. Stir in sour cream and freeze in the ice cream maker until set.

EASY ICE CREAM (MAPLE OR HONEY SWEETENED)

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, mixing well.
• Start ice cream freezer and pour mixture into it.
• Freeze according to manufacturer's instructions until desired consistency.

CINNAMON-HONEY "FRIED" ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Scoop 6 (1/2-cup) balls of ice cream onto cookie sheet. Freeze 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place cereal in shallow pan. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the honey evenly over cereal; mix well with fork until crumbly.
• Quickly roll 1 ball of ice cream at a time in cereal mixture to coat; return to cookie sheet. Freeze ice cream balls until firm, about 20 minutes. (If desired, cover and freeze until serving time).
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave remaining 2 tablespoons honey, uncovered, on High 20 to 30 seconds or until warm. To serve, place ice cream balls in individual dessert dishes; drizzle each with 1 teaspoon warm honey.

HONEYCOMB ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Put the milk and cream in a saucepan and heat until just below boiling point. Meanwhile, whisk the sugar, yolks and vanilla in a big mixing bowl. While whisking, slowly pour in the hot milk mixture until everything is combined.
• Wipe out the pan and pour the mixture back in, then cook over a low heat, stirring all the time until the custard has thickened to just coat the back of a wooden spoon. Leave to cool.
• Churn the cooled custard in an ice cream machine according to the instructions. Scrape into a freezer container and fold through the honeycomb chunks. Put in the freezer and leave until solid. If you don't have an ice cream machine, please see the tip below.

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.
