Honey Ice Cream
Ices creams were first offered in England in 1842 by the Italians. And the Italians apparently invented this sweet dainty in the middle of the seventeenth century.
Ingredients:
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup flavored honey; raspberry or citrus
6 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
1 more cup heavy cream
Combine milk, 1 cup heavy cream and honey in a heavy pan. Stir slowly over medium-low heat until melted and keep warm over very low heat.
Beat egg yolks and sugar at high speed with mixer until pale in color for 5-8 minutes in a small cup. Put to large bowl. Slowly beat in warm milk mixture at the medium speed.
Return again to heavy pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickly coats a wooden spoon. But do not boil. Take away from heat. Pour into a bowl. Add 1 cup heavy cream and mix well. Cool in cold water bath, stirring, until cold. Transfer into ice cream machine and freeze in machine for about 20-25 minutes following instructions. Cover and place in freezer when finished for at least 4 hours.
Makes 5 1/2 cups.
