  • Total Time: 9 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 9 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (473 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (236 ml) whole milk
  • 2/3 cup (213 grams) runny honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 (54 grams total) large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. At least 24 hours before making the ice cream, place your ice cream machine bowl in the freezer. Turn on the super freeze option if available.
  2. In a large heat-proof bowl, pour the heavy cream and set a fine-mesh sieve over the top.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine milk, honey, and salt. Heat over medium, stirring frequently until the honey dissolves and the milk steams without boiling.
  4. In another medium bowl, whisk large egg yolks until smooth and combined.
  5. Gradually pour half of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks while constantly whisking to avoid curdling.
  6. Return the mixture to the saucepan and continue stirring over medium-low heat until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, reaching 170 °F (77 °C) in about 3 to 7 minutes.
  7. Pour the hot custard through the sieve into the cold heavy cream, stopping the cooking process and removing any egg bits.
  8. Stir in the vanilla extract and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
  9. Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  10. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 4 to 8 hours to firm up, depending on the container used.
