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
- 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.
- In a large heat-proof bowl, pour the heavy cream and set a fine-mesh sieve over the top.
- In a medium saucepan, combine milk, honey, and salt. Heat over medium, stirring frequently until the honey dissolves and the milk steams without boiling.
- In another medium bowl, whisk large egg yolks until smooth and combined.
- Gradually pour half of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks while constantly whisking to avoid curdling.
- 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.
- Pour the hot custard through the sieve into the cold heavy cream, stopping the cooking process and removing any egg bits.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
- Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 4 to 8 hours to firm up, depending on the container used.
