My honey likes cinnamon

As I promised, here’s another ice cream.

Here we’re still enjoying some warm summer days, but the chill nights remind us that autumn is just around the corner. Cinnamon and honey are, in my head, flavours from the autumn, but so perfect to use on this late summer treat!

CINNAMON & HONEY ICE CREAM

• 200 ml cream
• 200 ml milk
• 50 gr (1.8 oz) honey
• 80 gr (2.8 oz) sugar
• 80 gr (2.8 oz) egg yolks
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Heat the cream, milk, honey and cinnamon almost until boiling point. In a bowl mix well the yolks and sugar. Slowly add the milk mixture to the yolks, always mixing so the yolks won’t curdle. Transfer everything to the pan again and heat on low, always mixing, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon but don’t let it boil. Pass thru a sieve and cool completely (preferably in an ice bath). Churn only when it’s fully chilled. I’ve served it in glasses that were dripped with honey before putting the ice cream.

Besides enjoying this wonderful ice cream I’m also enjoying a very short (but oh so well deserved) vacation. I have a friend over visiting from Spain and tomorrow I’ll be the one going to Spain to spend a few days in my beloved Seville, my home away from home. Sorry if I’m slow commenting or answering emails, but I won’t be around the computer much. I know you’ll forgive me because when I come back I’ll tell you all about my trip and I’ll give you some more ice cream. Deal?
