Introduction
Ice Cream Recipe (2023):Here's a unique recipe for homemade honey lavender ice cream:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons dried lavender flowers (culinary grade)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and dried lavender flowers. Place the saucepan over medium heat and heat the mixture until it starts to simmer, stirring occasionally.
2. Once the mixture simmers, remove it from the heat and let it steep for about 15-20 minutes to infuse the lavender flavor.
3. Following the infusion process, carefully strain the mixture through a delicate, mesh sieve, ensuring the removal of every last lavender flower, allowing only the essence of the botanical infusion to remain. Once strained, gently transfer the fragrant cream mixture back into the saucepan, ready to continue its transformation into a divine ice cream base.
4. Add the honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the infused cream mixture. Thoroughly blend the ingredients together with gentle yet purposeful strokes, ensuring a harmonious union of flavors and textures.
5. Place the saucepan back on the stove over medium heat and heat the mixture until it reaches a gentle simmer, stirring constantly.
6. Take the mixture off the stove and allow it to cool for a brief interlude..Then, transfer it to a lidded container and refrigerate for about 2-3 hours or until it's well chilled.
7. Once cooled to the perfect temperature, carefully transfer the velvety mixture into the awaiting arms of your trusty ice cream maker, allowing it to spin and swirl in accordance with the sacred dance prescribed by the manufacturer's hallowed manual, typically for a span of 20-25 minutes or until a delectably thickened consistency is achieved.
8. Carefully transfer the exquisitely churned ice cream into a lidded vessel, allowing it to gracefully repose in the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours, or until its texture reaches the pinnacle of frozen perfection.
9. When the moment to indulge arrives, retrieve your homemade ice cream from its icy abode and allow it to gracefully bask in the ambient warmth of the room, allowing its creamy texture to gently soften and melt into pure bliss with each passing minute. Scoop into bowls or cones, and savor the delightful flavors of honey and lavender!
Feel free to experiment with other mix-ins or toppings like crushed honeycomb, toasted almonds, or a drizzle of warm honey to enhance the taste and presentation of your unique honey lavender ice cream. Enjoy your homemade creation!
