Best Vanilla Ice Cream With Honey Recipes

HONEY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk the egg yolks together in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
• Heat the cream, milk, honey, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium to medium high heat, stirring occasionally, until it is just barely starting to simmer.
• Remove from the stovetop and temper the egg yolks by slowly pouring a little bit of the hot cream mixture over them, whisking it in as you pour it. Then add the egg yolk mixture to the saucepan and return to the stovetop, again whisking the mixture together as you pour.
• Cook over medium or medium-low heat for 10-12 more minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened. If you are used to making custard-based ice creams, this recipe does not thicken quite as much as others I have made, as the honey keeps it relatively thin, but it should thicken somewhat.
• Pour the custard over a fine mesh strainer, to catch any bits of egg, into a container for chilling. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
• Cover and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Churn ice cream in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Smooth the ice cream into a freezer safe container and freeze for at least a few hours before enjoying. Best within a couple days.

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.

HONEY VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Add cream, vanilla and honey to blender.
• Blend on a lower setting just until smooth and combined, about 3-5 seconds. Be careful not to blend too long, you don't want the cream to turn to butter or get a lot of air in the mixture. If any foam forms on the top, remove this with a spoon.
• Pour mixture into ice cream maker.
• Turn machine on and mix according to your ice cream maker's instructions.
• Ice cream will start to have a "soft serve" texture when it is done. This is my family's favorite way to eat it. If you prefer it to be a little firmer or need to serve it later, place in the freezer to harden.

VANILLA-HONEY SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together yolks, sugar, honey, vanilla and salt until smooth.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring cream to a simmer.
• Whisking the yolks constantly, slowly pour half the hot cream into the egg mixture. Scrape custard back into saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until custard is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (180 degrees on an instant-read or candy thermometer). Do not let mixture come to a simmer or it could curdle. Strain into a heatproof bowl and whisk in cream cheese until completely melted.
• Nestle bowl in a larger bowl filled with ice water. Using a hand mixer or immersion blender, whip custard until thick and cold, about 5 minutes. Spoon mixture into 3 or 4 ice cube trays. Freeze for at least 3 hours or overnight (or up to 1 week).
• Using an offset spatula or butter knife, pop out ice cream cubes. Transfer to a food processor or blender. Pulse cubes with milk until the ice cream is smooth and has the consistency of soft serve. Serve immediately, or return to container and freeze for up to 1 week.
