Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 4 large Egg Yolks Provide creaminess and richness; opt for extra heavy cream for an even silkier texture.
  • 1/2 cup Good Quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil Imparts an earthy flavor; a robust variety is best for a distinguished taste.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Adds body and creaminess; can substitute with almond milk for a lighter option.
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream Essential for a rich, smooth texture; coconut cream works well for a dairy-free treat.
  • 1/2 cup Honey Offers natural sweetness and enhances the flavor; try agave for a vegan alternative.
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Adds depth of flavor with a subtle caramel note; white sugar can be a suitable substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the overall flavor profile; skipping it allows the olive oil and honey to shine.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness beautifully; use flaky sea salt as a topping for that perfect finishing touch.

Equipment

  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Saucepan
  • Spatula
  • Ice Cream Maker
  • Airtight container

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Whisk the Egg Yolks in a medium mixing bowl until pale and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Heat the Cream Mixture: In a saucepan, combine whole milk, heavy cream, honey, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt over medium heat.
  3. Temper the Egg Yolks by slowly drizzling the hot cream mixture into the bowl with the yolks, stirring constantly.
  4. Thicken the Mixture by returning it to the saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until it coats the back of a spoon, about 10-12 minutes.
  5. Incorporate Olive Oil and Vanilla by removing from heat and stirring them into the mixture thoroughly.
  6. Chill the Mixture in a clean bowl covered with plastic wrap for at least 2 hours.
  7. Churn the Ice Cream in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions, about 20-25 minutes.
  8. Freeze Until Firm, transferring the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours.
