Honey Mustard Ice Cream

Ingredients

  • 3 cups half and half
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard, depending on strength

Directions

  1. Warm the half and half and honey together over a low flame.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until they’re fully combined, then slowly temper that mixture into the pot with the warm milk and honey.
  3. Keep cooking the custard until it thickens enough to leave a clean line on the back of a spoon.
  4. Chill the custard base for about 4 hours, or overnight.
  5. Right before you pour it into the ice cream machine, whisk in the whole grain mustard to taste.
  6. Freeze the mixture in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
