Indulge in the floral sweetness of homemade Honey Lavender Ice Cream. This recipe combines the richness of cream and milk with the natural sweetness of honey and aromatic dried lavender, resulting in a decadent frozen treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Base:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk

Flavorings:

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the lavender infusion: In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and dried culinary lavender. Infuse the mixture with lavender by simmering, then steeping for 20 minutes.
  2. Strain and heat the mixture: Strain out the lavender, reheat the liquid, but avoid boiling.
  3. Whisk the egg yolks: Whisk yolks until fluffy, then gradually add honey, creating a smooth mixture.
  4. Temper the egg mixture: Slowly pour warm milk into yolks, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
  5. Cook the custard: Heat the combined mixture until thickened, without boiling.
  6. Chill the custard: Stir in vanilla, chill custard for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Churn the ice cream: Pour chilled custard into an ice cream maker and churn until soft-serve consistency.
  8. Freeze the ice cream: Transfer churned ice cream to a container, freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • For a stronger lavender flavor, you can steep the lavender in the cream overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Make sure the custard is thoroughly chilled before churning to achieve the desired ice cream texture.
