Yusuf Gallabhaiwala, Founder & CEO, Honey All Day
Ingredients:
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup honey
4 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and whole milk. Place the pan over medium heat and heat the mixture until it begins to steam, but avoid boiling it. Remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
- Once the mixture is well combined, pour it back into the saucepan. Place the pan over low heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Once the mixture is chilled, transfer it to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes, or until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container, and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours, or until it firms up.
- Serve your homemade honey ice cream in bowls or cones and enjoy!
Note: If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, stir the mixture vigorously to break up any ice crystals until it reaches the desired consistency.

- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Slowly pour about 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while continuously whisking. This will temper the yolks and prevent them from curdling.
- Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until chilled.
