Indulge in the sweet, nutty goodness of Honey Roasted Almond Ice Cream. Creamy and rich, with just the right touch of honey and crunchy roasted almonds, this treat is easy to make in your 0.8-quart ice cream maker.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup honey (preferably mild-flavored)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional, enhances nutty flavor)
- ¾ cup honey roasted almonds, chopped roughly
Instructions:
- Prepare the base:
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, honey, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar and honey are fully dissolved and the mixture is warm but not boiling. - Add flavors:
Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract if using. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until well chilled. - Prepare the almonds:
Roughly chop the honey-roasted almonds. You can toast them lightly in a dry pan for extra flavor, but it’s optional. - Churn the ice cream:
Pour the chilled base into your Whynter 0.8-quart ice cream maker and churn for 30-60 minutes or until it reaches soft-serve consistency. - Add almonds:
In the last 5 minutes of churning, add the chopped honey-roasted almonds so they are evenly distributed. - Enjoy:
Enjoy immediately or transfer the ice cream to an airtight container to freeze for at least 2–3 hours for a firmer texture.
