Why This Recipe is Special
Unlike regular vanilla or nut ice creams, this one uses honey as a key sweetener, giving a smooth floral flavor that pairs beautifully with roasted almonds and caramel ribbons.
Ingredients (Serves 4–5)
2 cups heavy cream (chilled)
1 cup full-fat milk
½ cup honey
½ cup sugar
1 cup roasted almonds (roughly chopped)
1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Ice Cream Base
1. In a saucepan, mix milk, honey, and sugar. Heat on low until sugar dissolves completely.
2. Remove from heat, add vanilla extract, and let cool.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
1. In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
2. Gently fold the cooled milk-honey mixture into the whipped cream.
Step 3: Add the Almonds
Fold in roasted almonds, saving a few for garnish.
Step 4: Swirl in the Caramel
1. Pour half the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container.
2. Drizzle caramel sauce over it.
3. Add remaining ice cream mixture and swirl more caramel on top using a knife or skewer for a marbled effect.
Step 5: Freeze
Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or until firm.
Step 6: Serve
Scoop into bowls, sprinkle with extra almonds, and drizzle with a little more caramel for that Instagram-worthy look.
Tips
For extra crunch, add a layer of crushed almond brittle.
You can replace caramel with butterscotch for a richer taste.
Always use fresh roasted almonds for the best flavor.
