Ingredients

  • 300 ml of whole milk

  • 60 g of dripping honey (prefers a floral honey such as lavender, heather or flowers)

  • 2 egg yolks

  • 1 pinch of fine sea salt

  • 40 g of granulated sugar

Directions

  • Heat the milk
    Heat the milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until steam forms.
  • Whisk the base
    Whisk together the honey, egg yolks, salt and 40g of sugar until well combined and slightly frothy.
  • Temper and combine
    Gradually pour the hot milk into the honey mixture, whisking constantly until fully incorporated. Transfer the mixture to the saucepan.
  • Cooking the custard
    Place the pan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula. Cook until the temperature reaches 82°C on an instant-read thermometer, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Filter and cool
    Pass the mixture through a fine sieve directly into your machine's container. Place the container in an ice bath. Once cooled, seal with the storage lid and freeze for 24 heures.
  • Prepare the work surface for the brittle
    While the base is in the freezer, prepare the caramel crunch. Line a baking sheet with non-stick parchment paper.
  • Cook the caramel
    Heat the remaining 20g of sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. While cooking, gently swirl the pan but never stir with a spoon, otherwise the sugar may crystallize. When the sugar turns a deep amber caramel and reaches 170°C on a thermometer, immediately pour it onto the prepared baking sheet. Let it cool completely, then break the caramel into small pieces. Store in an airtight container if you are not using it right away.
  • Install the machine
    Remove the ice cream base from the freezer, take off the lid, and place the tub in the outer bowl. Install the paddle in the lid and lock the assembly onto the outer bowl. Place the entire assembly onto the motor base and lock it in place.
  • Ice Cream Program
    Select program Ice Cream.
  • Incorporate the crunchy
    Once the cycle is complete, dig a well approximately 4 cm wide down to the bottom of the pot. Fill it with the caramel crunch pieces and start another cycle using the program. Mix-In.
  • Service
    Once the treatment is complete, serve the ice cream immediately.

Notes

  • Honey makes all the difference: Look for a floral honey such as lavender, heather or flower honey — their scent really stands out better than a standard neutral honey.
