Ingredients:

• 1 quart heavy cream
• 1 pint half and half
• 1 1/4 cups honey
• 12 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Method

Bring cream and half and half to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. While cream is simmering separate yolks into a large mixing bowl. With a whisk mix yolks, honey, and vanilla until completely blended, about 2 minutes. Temper yolk mixture with hot cream mixture. Strain and cool in an ice bath until mixture is 38 degrees. Freeze mixture in an ice cream maker using manufacturer's directions. When finished place in freezer four hours before serving. Serve in ice cream bowls. Garnish with biscotti, optional.

Notes: To temper the yolk mixture slowly whisk hot cream into the yolks until mixture reaches 145 degrees. This is a very important step as it prevents the eggs from cooking.

Number of servings: 15
