Revisiting: Two Ingredient Ice Cream - No Machine Required

Two (or, possibly three) Ingredient Ice Cream


Prep: 10 minutes Freeze: 6 hours
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of honey
2 1/2 cups of cream (35% fat)

Alterations: Add a teaspoon of vanilla (to the whipped cream portion) & just a tiny bit of grated vanilla bean (to the honey and cream portion) for a boost of flavor. 



Directions:
1. Whip 1.5 cups of whipping cream (plus 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, if desired) until it forms stiff peaks, refrigerate.

2. Heat honey on low heat until it is very runny and add the remaining 1 cup of cream. Stir together until well blended (and grate in a tiny bit of vanilla bean, if you like). Allow to cool to room temperature.

3. Add cooled honey/cream mixture to the whipped cream. Whisk until well blended.

4. Freeze approximately 6 hours until the mixture is the consistency of ice cream. If time permits, periodically whisk the mixture during freezing to produce a creamier texture.
Serve with the topping of your choice & enjoy!

Making progress, keep whipping

Add 1.5 cups cream, note texture pre-whipping














There's our peaks...refrigerate
Warm honey on low
Mix in remaining cup of cream

Pitch (add) cooled honey mixture to whipped cream.

Here's what happens if the mixture is added when warm (it still tasted yummy!)
Whisk well
For a creamier texture, whisk periodically throughout the 6 hour freeze.
