Honey Lavender Ice Cream - A Delicious Summer Treat
Looking for a refreshing and unique dessert to beat the summer heat? Try making Honey Lavender Ice Cream! This creamy and fragrant ice cream is the perfect combination of sweet honey and floral lavender, making it a delightful treat for any occasion.
To make this delicious ice cream, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons dried lavender
- 6 egg yolks
To start, heat the heavy cream, whole milk, honey, and dried lavender in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for 30 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are light and frothy. Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the lavender.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The finished ice cream should be smooth and creamy, with a subtle honey flavor and a delicate lavender aroma. Serve in bowls or cones and enjoy!
