Method

  • step 1

    Put the milk and cream in a saucepan and heat until just below boiling point. Meanwhile, whisk the sugar, yolks and vanilla in a big mixing bowl. While whisking, slowly pour in the hot milk mixture until everything is combined.

  • step 2

    Wipe out the pan and pour the mixture back in, then cook over a low heat, stirring all the time until the custard has thickened to just coat the back of a wooden spoon. Leave to cool.

  • step 3

    Churn the cooled custard in an ice cream machine according to the instructions. Scrape into a freezer container and fold through the honeycomb chunks. Put in the freezer and leave until solid. If you don’t have an ice cream machine, please see the tip below.

RECIPE TIPS
WITHOUT AN ICE CREAM MACHINE

If you don't have an ice cream machine, swap all the ingredients, except the honeycomb for: half a 397g can of condensed milk, 600ml double cream, 1 tsp vanilla extract. Place those ingredients in a big bowl, then beat with an electric whisk until really thick. Fold through the honeycomb, transfer to a freezer container and freeze until solid. (Please note, this will affect the nutritional value.)

question

Should this taste like custard or have I gone wrong? Certainly not a bad thing but I would label this flavour as creme brulee ice cream. Pretty good

Hi, thanks for your question. As ice cream is basically a frozen custard then it sounds like you've done it correctly. Homemade ice creams can be very rich with the egg yolks and cream. Creme brulee ice cream sounds pretty good! We hope you enjoy it. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food…

Made with Crunchie bar. Worked like a dream in an ice cream machine. Yummy!

I made this without an ice cream machine. It is really easy and really tasty. I couldn’t find honeycomb so used broken up Crunchie bars instead. A real winner!
