I found the recipe on a website called Pinkbites.com. What I liked about it was that it used only four ingredients, and its only sweetener was the honey, itself. Here are the ingredients:
"We are half-and-half, whole milk, four egg yolks, and honey! (We are best friends)"
I cooked up the milks until they started to simmer, then tempered the eggs and honey with them. At that point the ice cream officially became custard!
"I still need to thicken up, but in the meantime I really like your cds, bro!"
Here's the recipe, lifted straight out of the pinkbites page:
You will need:
4 egg yolks
2/3 cup of pure honey
1 1/2 cups of half-and-half
1 1/2 cup of whole milk
a pinch of salt
Bring the cream and the milk to a simmer, do not let it boil. While the cream mixture warms up, whisk the yolks, honey and salt together until pale and fluffy.
Slowly incorporate the warm cream mixture into the eggs, one ladle full at the time, whisking vigorously. Return the egg and cream mix to the stove and cook over low heat, stirring often with a wooden spoon. Do not let it boil. The custard is ready when it is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon and leaves a clear trail if you pass your finger on it.
Cool custard completely in the fridge before putting in the ice cream maker. Follow instructions of your ice cream machine.
I can't find the picture I took of my finished ice cream, so here's the picture from the pinkbites page:
"We looked basically the exact same."
And here's a picture of the pie I served it with:
"I come from a Cooking Light recipe. But what's REALLY great about me is that I'm the first apple pie Becky's ever made. And I think I turned out pretty good."
Oh man I just found my picture! But I'm leaving the other one because it's prettier:
"But I still look pretty good."
