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
- Warm the half and half and honey together over a low flame.
- 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.
- Keep cooking the custard until it thickens enough to leave a clean line on the back of a spoon.
- Chill the custard base for about 4 hours, or overnight.
- Right before you pour it into the ice cream machine, whisk in the whole grain mustard to taste.
- Freeze the mixture in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
