Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Burnt Honey Ice Cream
- Prepare an ice bath with ice and cold water. Nest a medium bowl inside and place a fine-mesh strainer over the top.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, warm the orange blossom honey over medium heat for about 5 minutes until caramelized.
- In another saucepan, heat the heavy cream and whole milk until warm, then gradually whisk into the caramelized honey.
- Slowly pour the hot honey-cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, whisking continuously until thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Strain the custard through the fine-mesh strainer into the ice bath, then whisk in the crème fraîche and salt.
- Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature in the ice bath for 15-20 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Pour the chilled custard into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 20-25 minutes.
- Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 4 hours to firm up before serving.

Notes
Monitor honey closely while caramelizing to avoid burning. Whisk constantly when combining hot cream with the egg mixture to prevent curdling. Chill properly for best flavor and texture.
