Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Base
  • 6 large Egg Yolks Provides richness and acts as an emulsifier for a smooth texture.
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar Adjust based on personal taste preference; less sugar yields a less sweet outcome.
  • 1/2 cup Orange Blossom Honey Key flavoring agent that deepens when caramelized.
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream Using a higher fat cream will yield a creamier ice cream.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Low-fat or almond milk can be used, but the final texture will differ.
  • 1/2 cup Crème Fraîche Sour cream can be used as a substitute, but will alter the flavor slightly.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt Use fine salt if kosher is not available.

Equipment

  • Ice Cream Maker
  • medium bowl
  • Saucepan
  • Fine Mesh Strainer
  • large bowl

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Prepare an ice bath with a large bowl and a medium bowl lined with a fine-mesh strainer to chill.
  2. Whisk egg yolks and granulated sugar in a medium bowl until smooth and pale, creating a fluffy texture.
  3. In a saucepan, gently heat orange blossom honey until it deepens in color and develops a fragrant profile, about 5 minutes.
  4. Combine heavy cream and whole milk in another saucepan and heat until just before boiling.
  5. Whisk the warm cream mixture into the caramelized honey gradually, simmering after each addition.
  6. Slowly pour the warm honey mixture into the whisked egg yolks while whisking continuously to prevent curdling.
  7. Cook the combined mixture over medium-low heat, whisking constantly until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  8. Strain the thickened custard into the bowl set in the ice bath to remove any curdled bits, then stir in crème fraîche and kosher salt.
  9. Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight to meld flavors.
  10. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions until soft-serve consistency.
