ingredients

  • 2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • One approximately 4-inch by 5-inch piece of honeycomb
  • 6 egg yolks

instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, stir together heavy cream, whole milk, 1/8 cup sugar, and honeycomb with all it’s honey over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a low boil.
  • In a small bowl, combine egg yolks and remaining 1/8 cup sugar. Whisk together until smooth. Slowly add 1/4 cup of the heavy cream mixture to the egg mixture, whisking quickly to incorporate. Once well combined, add the egg mixture to the heavy cream mixture.
  • Cook over medium heat until the mixture is thick and coats the back of a metal spoon.
  • Remove from heat, remove large pieces of honeycomb and discard. Strain into a medium bowl and cover with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic wrap touches the surface of the custard to prevent a film from forming. Chill completely.
  • Add the custard mixture to your ice cream machine. Churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Chill overnight or for a minimum of 7-8 hours before serving.
