Homemade Vanilla Honey Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups half-and-half
• 2 cups whipping cream
• 1 (14 ounce) can eagle brand sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup honey, pure clover variety

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups half-and-half, 2 cups whipping cream, 1 (14 ounce) can eagle brand sweetened condensed milk, 2 tablespoons vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup honey. Mix well until fully blended.
2. Pour the mixture into the ice cream freezer container according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Freeze the mixture until it reaches a creamy consistency, which usually takes a few hours, depending on your machine.
4. If you have leftovers, make sure to store them in the freezer to keep it nice and frozen for next time.
5. For a fun variation, reduce the half-and-half to 1 cup, and add 1 cup pureed or mashed fruit like bananas, peaches, or strawberries. Don’t forget a few drops of food coloring if you’re feeling fancy. Follow the same freezing process as above.
6. Alternatively, for the refrigerator-freezer method, omit the half-and-half entirely. Instead, whip the 2 cups of whipping cream until soft peaks form.
7. In a large bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well combined. Gently fold in the whipped cream until blended, then pour into a 9×5-inch loaf pan or similar 2-quart container. Cover and freeze for about 6 hours or until firm.
