Equipment

  • Ice Cream Maker
  • Electric Mixer (Stand or Hand-Held)

Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream, divided
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ¾ cup honey
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp coarse Kosher salt (if using table salt, use half the amount)

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan, whisk together 1 cup of the cream with the milk, honey, egg yolks, vanilla and salt.
  • Heat the custard over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it begins to steam and just bubble slightly around the edges. Do not let it boil.
  • Remove the custard from the heat, and pour through a mesh strainer to remove any bits of cooked egg. Cover and refrigerate the custard until thoroughly chilled, preferably overnight.
  • After chilling the custard, use an electric mixer to whip the remaining 1 cup of cream until soft peaks form. Gently whisk the whipped cream into the chilled custard.
  • Pour the custard into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Transfer the churned ice cream to lidded containers, and freeze until firm enough to scoop, at least 8-10 hours.

Notes
