Honey Lavender Ice Cream
Get ready to treat yourself to a delightful scoop of honey lavender ice cream. This creamy concoction is not only delicious but also easy to make. Just a few ingredients and a little patience is all you need!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, honey, and dried lavender. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally to combine the ingredients.
- Once hot, remove the saucepan from heat and let it steep for about 15 minutes to allow the lavender flavor to infuse into the cream mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks together. Gradually add a cup of the hot cream mixture to the yolks, whisking continuously to temper the eggs.
- Slowly pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove the lavender buds, pressing gently to extract all the flavor.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until fully chilled, about 2 hours or overnight.
- Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Once ready, scoop yourself a generous serving of this luscious Honey Lavender Ice Cream. Enjoy it on its own, or serve with fresh fruit or a drizzle of honey on top. It’s the perfect way to cool off and savor a bit of nature’s sweetness!
