Indulge in the Exquisite Bliss of Lavender Honey Pistachio Ice

Introducing: Lavender Honey Pistachio Ice Cream

I am excited to share this delightful and unique dessert recipe with you today. As we transition into the warmer months, I wanted to create a dessert that captures the essence of springtime. The combination of floral notes from lavender, the sweetness of honey, and the nuttiness of pistachios creates a harmonious symphony of flavors that is sure to impress your taste buds.

Ingredients:

• 300ml heavy cream
• 200ml whole milk
• 150g sugar
• 2 tbsp dried lavender
• 100g honey
• 100g chopped pistachios

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• mixing bowl
• whisk
• fine mesh strainer
• ice cream maker

To start, in a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and whole milk over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Add in the sugar and dried lavender, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the mixture from heat, cover the saucepan, and let it steep for 30 minutes to infuse the lavender flavor.

After the mixture has steeped, strain it through a fine mesh strainer into a mixing bowl to remove the lavender buds. Stir in the honey until fully incorporated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight to chill.

Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. During the last few minutes of churning, add in the chopped pistachios to evenly distribute them throughout the ice cream.

Transfer the churned ice cream into a container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours to set. When ready to serve, scoop out the lavender honey pistachio ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy the creamy, fragrant goodness.

This recipe yields approximately 800g of ice cream, with about 6 servings. Each serving is around 133g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 calories per serving.

One unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a pinch of edible dried lavender petals on top of the ice cream before serving to enhance the floral aroma and add a pop of color.

I encourage you to give this Lavender Honey Pistachio Ice Cream a try and play around with the flavors to make it your own. Enjoy!
