This lavender ice cream is sweetened with honey instead of sugar. So good on a hot summer day!
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 2/3 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons dried lavender flowers
- 2 eggs
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Heat heavy cream, half-and-half, honey, and lavender flowers in a heavy 2-quart saucepan, stirring occasionally, until cream just starts to bubble. Remove from heat and cover; let steep for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Strain cream mixture into a bowl using a fine-mesh sieve; discard lavender flowers. Clean saucepan and pour strained cream mixture back in. Heat over medium heat until hot, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Whisk eggs and salt together in a bowl. Whisk in 1 cup hot cream in a slow stream.
Step 4
Pour egg mixture into the remaining hot cream in the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until custard coats the back of the spoon and reads 175 degrees F (80 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Pour custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Let cool completely, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Chill, covered, for at least 3 hours.
Step 6
Freeze custard in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and place in the freezer to firm up.
