1. Honey Roasted Strawberry Ice Cream 

Honey roasted, creamy, and indeed delightful. This ice cream recipe is one for the books. It is an old-fashioned recipe with a twist. The taste is refreshing with fresh strawberries, honey, brown sugar, and cream. This treat will have you more than jumping for joy! 

Ingredients

Custard

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
• 6 large egg yolks
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup Nature Nate’s Honey
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
• 1/2 cup (3 oz) milk chocolate, chopped or mini chocolate chips

Honey Roasted Strawberries

• 1-pint strawberries halved
• 2 Tbsp honey 

Instructions

Custard

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, salt, and egg yolks until they’re smooth and pale in color. Set aside.
2. Place the heavy cream, whole milk, and honey in a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to boil, at about 200F (93C).
3. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the egg mixture while whisking continuously. The custard should now be at about 170F (77C). If it’s not, return the whole custard to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring continuously until it reaches 170F (77C).
4. Stir in the vanilla and pour the custard into an airtight container or jar and allow it to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate overnight. *Also, freeze your ice cream machine overnight or per the instruction manual.

Honey Roasted Strawberries

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. Place the strawberries on a cookie sheet and drizzle honey on top. Roast the strawberries in the oven for 5 minutes, then remove and use a spatula to toss the strawberries in the juice and honey. Roast for another 5 minutes.
3. Dump the strawberries, with all the juice, into an airtight container or jar and allow to cool completely. Use an immersion blender (or a food processor, choppers, etc.) to partially puree the strawberries. You want most of it pureed but leave some chunks. Cover and refrigerate it overnight. 
4. After everything has chilled overnight, prepare your ice cream machine per the instruction manual. Pour in the custard, churn for 15 minutes, and pour in the strawberry mixture. Churn for another 5-10 minutes until it looks like the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips, cover the ice cream with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4-6 hours. 

Note: This can also be done by incorporating the custard, strawberry mixture, and chocolate chips and freezing overnight in an airtight container.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups of cold heavy cream (separated into 1 cup and 1 1/2 cups)
