Silken and rich, this honey olive oil ice cream brings together just a handful of ingredients to create something unexpected. The honey lends gentle floral sweetness, while the olive oil offers a smooth, peppery note that rounds out the cream and milk. It’s lovely on its own or served with fresh fruit, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, or a sprinkle of flaky salt.

Makes about 1 quart
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups whole milk
In a medium bowl, beat together the egg yolks, honey, and olive oil until smooth. Set aside.
