Honey Lavender Ice Cream: Indulge in a Sweet Delight!

Print Recipe

A delightful and creamy honey lavender ice cream that combines the sweetness of honey with the floral notes of lavender, perfect for a refreshing dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream (divided into two portions)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2/3 cup honey (adjust based on your sweetness preference)
  • 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • few sprigs lavender (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of the heavy cream and the dried culinary lavender over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Remove from heat and let it steep for about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Strain the cream through a fine mesh sieve to remove the lavender buds. Return the creamed lavender liquid to the saucepan.
  3. Add the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream, whole milk, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the infused cream. Whisk together until the honey is fully dissolved.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until it’s completely chilled.
  5. Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically around 20-30 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  6. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up before serving.
  7. Scoop into bowls, and if desired, garnish with additional sprigs of lavender or a drizzle of honey.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of honey based on your sweetness preference.
  • Make sure to use culinary lavender for safe consumption.
  • For a creamier texture, ensure the mixture is well chilled before churning.
