Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 6 large Egg Yolks Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better emulsification.
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar Can substitute with brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Orange Blossom Honey Regular honey can be used, but the taste will differ.
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream Substitute with full-fat coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Can be replaced with any plant-based milk for a non-dairy option.
  • 1/2 cup Crème Fraîche Sour cream can be used as an alternative.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt Use table salt sparingly if kosher salt is not available.

Equipment

  • ice cream maker
  • medium saucepan
  • Large bowl
  • fine mesh strainer

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Ice Bath: Fill a large bowl with ice and water, then nest a medium bowl with a fine-mesh strainer into it.
  2. Whisk Egg Yolks and Sugar: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  3. Caramelize the Honey: Pour the orange blossom honey into a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring gently for about 5 minutes.
  4. Warm the Cream and Milk: Combine heavy cream and whole milk in a separate saucepan and heat over medium until warm, about 5 minutes.
  5. Combine the Mixtures: Return the combined honey and cream mixture to medium heat and whisk in the egg yolk and sugar mixture, stirring for about 2 minutes.
  6. Strain the Custard: Once thickened, strain the custard through the fine-mesh strainer into the chilled bowl in your ice bath.
  7. Chill the Mixture: Allow the custard to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  8. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 20-25 minutes.
  9. Freeze for Firmer Texture: Transfer ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours for a firmer texture.
