Orange Blossom Honey Ice Cream Recipes

ORANGE-BLOSSOM-HONEY MADELEINES

Steps:

• Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar in a large bowl until pale yellow and thick, about 4 minutes. Beat in honey, vanilla, and orange zest. Gently fold in dry ingredients. Add 5 tablespoons melted butter; gently fold into batter. Press plastic wrap directly onto surface of batter; chill for at least 3 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
• Position a rack in center of oven; preheat to 400°F. Lightly brush madeleine molds with butter. Place pan on a baking sheet. Drop 1 scant tablespoon batter into each mold. Bake until golden and a tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 10 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven, invert, and quickly knock madeleines out of pan. Serve warm on their own or with Ginger-Yogurt Mousse with Pistachio Meringue .

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.

FROZEN HONEY CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat heavy cream to stiff peaks, then refrigerate. In a small pot, bring honey to a boil over medium-high and cook 2 minutes. In another medium bowl, using mixer, beat egg yolks until pale yellow. With mixer running, add hot honey in a slow, steady stream. Beat on high until mixture has cooled to room temperature, about 5 minutes. With a rubber spatula, fold in whipped cream. Transfer mixture to a 5-by-10-inch loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until set, 2 hours (or up to 1 week).

ORANGE HONEY SYRUP

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan combine the honey, the orange juice, the water, and the zest and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes, or until it is reduced to 1 1/3 cups. (If the syrup is reduced too much, it becomes too thick and too sweet.) Stir in the Manto and let the syrup cool. The syrup may be made 1 week in advance and kept, covered, at room temperature.
• Makes about 1 1/3 cups

ORANGE BLOSSOM ICE CREAM RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• Prepare a 1.5 quart ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar; set aside. Add the heavy cream, milk, and a pinch of salt to a medium saucepan. Set the saucepan over medium heat. Once simmering, remove from heat, and in a steady stream, whisk in about 1/4 cup of the hot liquid into the yolk mixture. Keep gradually whisking in the hot liquid until all of it has been added. Pour everything back into the saucepan and set over medium low heat. While stirring occasionally, cook the custard until it becomes thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, or until it reaches 170 °F. Pour the custard through a fine mesh sieve and into another large bowl. Mix in the orange blossom water and vanilla extract and gently set the bowl in an ice bath until cool. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until the mixture becomes cold. Once the custard base has properly chilled, pour the custard into the ice cream machine and churn according to manufacturer's instructions. Once the ice cream has thickened properly, enjoy right away, or pour the ice cream into an airtight container and place in the freezer until firm, about 4-5 hours.
