Greek Honey and Cinnamon Ice Cream

[ssherie_]

So, I love this ice cream recipe. What I do is I make this ice cream and then when I serve it, I serve it in a dish with a drizzle of honey and some walnuts! It reminds me a bit of baklava. At least, it has a lot of the flavors of baklava.

Ingredients:​

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup honey (preferably Greek honey)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Ice Cream Base:
   • In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, honey, sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
   • Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling (do not let it boil).
2. Infuse and Cool:
   • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
   • Let the mixture cool to room temperature. To speed up the process, you can place the saucepan in an ice bath.
   • Once cooled, cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. The mixture needs to be thoroughly chilled before churning.
3. Churn the Ice Cream:
   • Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker.
   • Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
4. Freeze and Set:
   • Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container.
   • Freeze for at least 2-4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm enough to scoop.
5. Serve:
   • Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones.
   • Optionally, drizzle with a bit of extra honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon for garnish.

Enjoy your homemade Greek Honey and Cinnamon Ice Cream, a sweet and aromatic treat perfect for any occasion!
