Nourishing Guilt Free Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Eggs
  • 3/4 cup Honey
  • 2 tsp. Real Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Vanilla Bean Optional
  • 6 cups Cream

Instructions
 

  • Add the eggs to a medium sized bowl and whisk very well (some recipes will call for the egg yolks only, but I hate to waste the white and use it all). After the eggs are whisked, add the honey, vanilla, salt, and vanilla bean to the eggs and combine well. The most important step in making ice cream with honey is being sure to get all the ingredients incorporated well. Add this to the cream and stir again. The next step is to get this mixture very cold, then freeze in an ice cream freezer according to the manufacture’s directions. Plain vanilla ice cream is good and doesn’t need anything, but for a change we love to top this with strawberries from the garden, homemade chocolate sauce, soaked nuts, or peaches from our orchard.
     
    Note: To use a vanilla bean, simply cut it in half and use a knife to scrape out the seeds. I have a bottle of organic vodka that I then add the leftover bean to.
