Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup milk (milk kefir or yogurt)
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup honey (depending on taste)
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
- Added flavors (see section above)
Instructions
- For a dose of probiotics use cultured milk and whipping cream. See the section above for suggestions, including milk kefir, yogurt, buttermilk, and more!
- Mix all the ingredients together. The honey needs to be really runny to mix properly into the cold milk, so warm it slightly, if necessary.
- Cool the ice cream mixture in the fridge for up to 3 hours before putting it in the ice cream maker.
- Follow the instructions on your ice cream maker to churn the ice cream.
- Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- I typically use milk kefir and kefir cultured whipping cream in this recipe. It adds both flavor and probiotics! See the section above for other options.
- Don’t replace the honey with sugar, or you will end up with ice crystals and hard ice cream. Honey helps keep this recipe creamy!
- This recipe is designed for a 1.4L ice cream machine. I have this ice cream maker
