How to Make Honey Ice Cream Recipe?
If you never thought of making vanilla ice cream with honey, think again! Just like all homemade ice cream recipes, this one requires a bit of patience. But your efforts will be rewarded in the end. Here’s how to do it:
Heavy Cream: Pick up a pint of heavy cream or heavy whipping cream for the creamiest texture. Milk: Use full-fat whole milk for the richest texture and flavor. Honey: Choose high-quality honey, local or raw honey is even better. As always, the honey flavor will determine the flavor of your ice cream. My favorite types of honey are orange blossom and clover. Maple syrup could also be used but be aware that the flavor profile of the overall ice cream would be different. Salt: We are using Kosher salt to season the honey-flavored ice cream. Feel free to give it a finish of Maldon flaky salt upon serving for a salted honey ice cream twist. Vanilla: You can use vanilla extract or the luxurious vanilla bean paste (affiliate link). If using vanilla extract, be sure to add it at the end while the ice cream mixture cools to room temperature. Raw Egg Yolks: Whole egg yolks add texture and richness to the honey and ice cream. The trick is to temper the egg yolks into the cream mixture, but more on this later.
How to Store
This honey milk ice cream will keep for up to 1 week in the freezer if stored properly. Here are my best tips for storage:
Store in a freezer-safe airtight container, preferably an ice cream tub (affiliate link.) Use the back of a spoon to gently push it down to remove any air. Place in the back of the freezer, away from any odorous foods (i.e., fish, onions, etc.).
How to Serve Honey Ice Cream?
Honey-sweetened ice cream will become one of your favorite ice cream flavors you are going to want to put on everything. Some of my favorite ways to serve include:
Bowl / Cone: Keep it classic by scooping ice cream into a bowl or cone to enjoy all on its own. Use any of your favorite toppings, such as nuts, fresh fruit, or even better, a drizzle of your favorite caramel. Make Ice Cream Sandwich: Sandwich a generous scoop of it in between Almond Flour Cookies, or Almond Flour Peanut Butter Cookies for a scrumptious summer treat. On Top of Baked Goods: Serve it a la mode style on top of Almond Flour Brownies, Peach Galette, or Easy Apple Crisp. Make a Honey Ice Cream Sundae: Create a luxurious ice cream sundae at home by topping it off with dark chocolate, chocolate chips, fresh fruit, or fruit sauce, like my Blueberry Sauce and Maple Whipped Cream.
