Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large egg yolks

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally.
2. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the honey and vanilla extract until well combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the salt until blended.
4. Gradually whisk the egg yolk mixture into the slightly cooled cream mixture, ensuring no curdling.
5. Return the saucepan to low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil.
6. Remove from heat and strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl.
7. Allow the custard to cool at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
8. Once chilled, pour the custard into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
9. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours for a firmer texture before serving.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
