    Storage and Leftovers?

    Avoid getting freezer burn on your Sexy Spices & Wildflower Honey Ice Cream by keeping it stored in an airtight container in your freezer for up to 1 month. Because all of the flavors in the ice cream are so light, it's particularly susceptible to taking on other flavors. Try to keep it away from anything with strong aromas, like garlic, onions, or even pineapple to make sure it maintains it's flavor.

    As soon as you're done scooping your ice cream, make sure to put it back into the freezer right away. The more the spices are exposed to air, the less potent they will be.

    Because this ice cream is custard based, it's much softer when scooping. While that's nice because it doesn't require you to prove your muscles when scooping, it does mean it's more likely to melt faster. Help your ice cream out by chilling your sundae dishes in the freezer 30 minutes before serving.

    Ingredients

    Custard Base

    • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
    • 1 ½ cups whole milk
    • 8 egg yolks
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste
    • ¾ cup wildflower honey

    Ice Cream

    • ½ teaspoon freshly ground cinnamon
    • 1 pinch of freshly ground cardamom
    • ½ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
    • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground star anise

    Instructions

    Custard Base

    • Whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and salt until smooth but not overly whipped.
    • Pour the cream and milk into a pot and scald it by bringing it up to 180°F. Remove it from the heat and remove one cup of the liquid.
    • Pulling from the separated cup, add one tablespoon at a time of the scalded dairy into the egg yolks - whisking vigorously with each addition. While still whisking, slowly stream the rest of the scalded dairy into the egg yolk until completely incorporated.
    • Transfer the custard base back into the pot and place it over low heat. Stirring constantly in a figure 8 pattern, heat the custard base until it reaches 170°F and is thick and silky. If you heat it too high, you'll curdle the eggs, so make sure to watch your thermometer closely.
    • Place the honey and vanilla bean paste in the bottom of a bowl. Remove the custard base from the heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve over the honey and vanilla. This will remove any chunks or curdled bits of eggs and melt the honey at the same time.
    • Once strained, stir together the custard base and honey until the honey is dissolved. Cover the custard base and refrigerate overnight.

    Ice Cream

    • Pour the custard base and spices into the frozen bowl of an electric ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturers instructions for making the ice cream.
    • Once the ice cream has reached a thick soft-serve consistency, remove it and transfer it to a freezer safe container. Allow to freeze for at least 24 hours before serving.

    Notes

    Don't have vanilla bean paste? No problem, switch it out for pure vanilla extract.
    Freshly ground spices will give you the best flavor, but store bought pre-ground will work almost as well.

      I love the combination of spices that you're using in this recipe... I tend to be a traditional chocolate lover, but recently have been liking more subtle flavors in my vanilla. This will definitely be making an appearance at my house1

        I totally recommend just making the honey ice cream then, Michele. It's SOOOO good, but when you add the spices, it can get a bit overwhelming.

        It reminds me a lot of Chai, but creamier and the spices are more pronounced.

      Mackenzie -- this ice cream is magnificent! I love the spices and honey -- but you're too funny... As if I'd have to "store" it. I doubt it would make it to the freezer the first time. I'd simply dip my spoon in the ice cream maker and eat the whole batch!

        I like the way you think, Lisa. Although, I will confess, that if you eat too much of this is one sitting, the spices do start to burn your throat a little. While very good for aphrodisiac effect, too much a good thing, right?

      Man.. I shouldn't have given away my ice cream maker!!! (I didn't have anywhere to put it.) If we ever move somewhere with more cabinet space, I'm getting one, and I'm making THIS! YUM

        I feel you! That was me a year ago, Sarah! We moved from a 2000 square foot home (with a 600 square foot kitchen) to an 800 square foot apartment with a kitchen the size of Harry Potter's closet under the stairs. The ice cream maker just didn't have priority.
