Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Honey Adjust based on preference for sweetness.
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream Provides creaminess.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Can substitute with Half and Half.
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt Enhances sweetness.
  • 4 large Egg Yolks Essential for custard base.
For the Flavor
  • 1 cup Dandelion Petals Use fresh, pesticide-free yellow petals.

Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • fine mesh sieve
  • Whisk
  • Ice Cream Maker
  • freezer-safe container

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine honey, heavy cream, whole milk, and dandelion petals. Heat on low to medium until the mixture begins to simmer, about 30-40 minutes.
  2. Once simmered, remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove dandelion petals, leaving behind a smooth cream.
  3. In the cleaned saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks. Gradually add the strained mixture, whisking continuously to combine.
  4. Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until the custard thickens and reaches 175°F (79°C).
  5. Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  6. Pour the chilled custard into an ice cream maker and churn until soft-serve consistency, about 20-30 minutes.
  7. Transfer the ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm.
