Vanilla Honey Ice Cream Recipe

• Heat the cream, milk, honey, vanilla beans and seeds in a heavy saucepan over medium heat until hot. DO NOT BOIL!
• Lightly whisk the egg yolks in a heatproof bowl; slowly drizzle 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the yolks while whisking.
• Pour the yolk mixture into the saucepan of cream; heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens slightly and coats the back of a wooden spoon. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BOIL and curdle.
• Pour through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the vanilla beans and any bits of cooked egg yolk.
• Stir in the vanilla extract.
• Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, about 6 hours.

Instructions for Ice Cream Maker

• Follow the directions on your ice cream maker to freeze. Once frozen, transfer to containers and allow to set in the freezer for 2 hours.

If you don't have an ice cream maker:

• Pour mixture into pre-chilled metal loaf tin for approx 6 hours or until it's almost set.
• Remove from freezer and use a metal spoon to break up the ice cream.
• Transfer to a bowl and beat for 3 minutes or until smooth. Return to the loaf pan, cover with foil and freeze for 4 hours.
