Instructions
Creating honeycomb ice cream is a simple process if you follow these steps carefully. Let’s break it down:
- Prepare the Honey Mixture:
- In a saucepan, pour 3/4 cup of honey and heat over medium heat until it starts to bubble. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup of sugar to the bubbling honey, stirring continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Once dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Mix until the mixture becomes frothy and expands.
- Cool the Honey Mixture:
- Set the frothy honey mixture aside and allow it to cool slightly. This will help it integrate smoothly with the ice cream base.
- Prepare the Ice Cream Base:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Whisk the mixture gently until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Combine and Churn:
- Gently fold the cooled honey mixture into the cream base. Ensure even distribution for a consistent flavor throughout.
- Pour the combined mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Freeze:
- Transfer the churned ice cream into a suitable container, using a spatula to smooth the surface.
- Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until the ice cream is firm.
Enjoy the satisfaction of having created a delightful homemade dessert!
