Ninja Creami Honey Ice Cream

Ninja Creami honey ice cream uses honey for it's sweetener for a delicious smooth ice cream with a hint of honey flavor. This Ninja Creami recipe is perfect for anyone who wants to swap out regular sugar for honey in their ice cream.

My husband wanted to create a Ninja Creami recipe using honey instead of sugar, and he's spent the last couple of months perfecting this one. And it's so good. His hard work has paid off.

While this honey ice cream requires a little more work than just dumping ingredients in a Ninja Creami container, it's still pretty easy and, honesty? I think the extra steps are absolutely worth it.

This is a perfectly creamy Ninja Creami honey ice cream. It uses no white sugar, all the sweetness comes from delicious honey. Thank you bees! And thanks to my husband for this recipe. (He's also responsible for the delicious homemade honeycomb candy topping the ice cream. Get the recipe for honeycomb candy).

Ingredients

• Heavy cream
• Whole milk
• Honey
• Egg yolks

How to make Ninja Creami honey ice cream

Fill a large bowl with ice water and set another bowl inside of your ice bath and place a fine mesh strainer over that bowl.

Combine the heavy cream, milk and honey into a heavy pan. Stir occasionally over medium heat until the honey is incorporated and the liquid starts to steam (about 170 F).

Whisk the yolks in a medium-sized bowl until blended. Temper the yolks by slowly adding 1 cup of the hot liquid into the yolks while constantly whisking.

Then slowly add the yolk mixture back into your pan while whisking.

Heat until the mixture just starts to bubble (180 - 185 degrees) then pour through a fine mesh strainer into your bowl in its ice bath.

Let cool for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Empty contents into a Creami container and chill for 24 hours.

Freeze for at least 24 hours.

Process on the ICE CREAM setting. Ice cream should come out perfectly scoopable.

Top as desired. We absolutely love topping with this homemade honeycomb candy. It adds even more honey flavor and a delicious crunch.

Recipe tips

• The honey ice cream should come out perfectly scoopable. If wanting a harder texture, return to the freezer for 20-30 minutes after processing.
• If you have leftovers, simply smooth out the top of the ice cream and return to the freezer.
• While this recipe uses egg yolks and is absolutely delicious, if you're wanting a simpler recipe using honey, just swap out your white sugar for honey.
