Simplest Vanilla Ice Cream

This couldn't be more delicious and doesn't even require an ice cream maker.
Author: Whole Shenanigans
Prep: 15 minutes
Freeze Time: 5 hours
Total: 5 hours 15 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup raw honey

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the cream until it’s hot but not boiling.
  • While the cream heats, whisk the eggs in a small bowl.
  • Gradually add 1/2 cup of the hot cream to the eggs, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
  • Once tempered, gradually add the egg mixture to the saucepan with the rest of the hot cream, whisking continuously.
  • Continue to heat without boiling, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Allow the cream to cool completely. I usually put mine in the freezer for a half hour or so. Once cool, stir in the honey. This ensures heat will not kill any of the beneficial components of the raw honey. It’s ok if there are a few lumps, as these will get blended out later.
  • Freeze for approximately two hours.
  • Blend with an immersion blender and refreeze until hardened.
