This recipe offers a delightful twist on classic vanilla ice cream, ensuring a rich and creamy texture with a hint of sophistication.
Whisk the fresh egg yolks in a mixing bowl until they become pale and creamy.
Whisking the yolks thoroughly ensures a smooth and creamy texture in the final ice cream.
Gradually add the granulated sugar to the yolks, whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth and thick.
Adding the sugar slowly prevents lumps and ensures even sweetness.
Heat the whipping cream and whole milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
Heating the dairy gently prevents curdling and ensures a smooth base.
Slowly pour the warm dairy mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
Tempering prevents the eggs from cooking too quickly and forming lumps.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
Stirring constantly ensures even cooking and prevents the custard from burning.
Remove the custard from heat and stir in the pure vanilla extract and natural honey.
Adding the vanilla and honey off-heat preserves their delicate flavors.
Cool the mixture completely in the refrigerator, then churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Chilling the mixture before churning helps achieve a smoother texture.
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
Freezing allows the ice cream to firm up to the perfect scooping consistency.
Serve the ice cream in bowls or cones, and enjoy with your favorite toppings.
For a gourmet touch, garnish with fresh mint leaves or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
