Blackberry and honey ice cream

Prep Time 8 hours
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 8 hours 30 minutes
Servings 2 pints

Ingredients

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 3 cups frozen blackberries
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup of sugar
  • 1 pint of fresh blackberries

Instructions

  • In a small pot, add frozen blackberries, water and sugar. Cook over low heat until berries begin to soften. Using the back of a wooden spoon, work to "mash" berries. Continue to simmer "mashed" berries over low heat for 10-15 minutes, until a thick sauce has been formed.
  • Using a fine mesh strainer, strain berry sauce into a small bowl and set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, make the ice cream base.
  • In a small sauce pan add egg yolks and sugar. Whisk until egg yolks are a pale yellow color. Add in honey, milk, sea salt and vanilla. Stir.
  • Set the pot over medium high heat. Bring the mixture to a low boil. Cook, stirring consistently until the mixture thickens and easily coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Once thickened, remove from heat. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large heatproof bowl and strain the custard into the bowl.
  • Add the reserved blackberry sauce and stir to combine. In a small bowl, add the pint of fresh blackberries and gently break up/mash with a fork. Add fresh blackberry pieces to the custard.
  • Cover the custard and place in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight.
  • Once the ice cream mixture is well chilled, churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container.
  • Freeze for 4-6 hours or until firm.
