Fresh cream is in season (don’t think of cream as a seasonal food? check out this post For the Love of Fresh Cream), and we’re making a lot of ice cream in our home. It’s so simple to make, plus it helps me to get all those good fat soluble vitamins into my toddler’s body. The ice cream we make is very much a raw food: raw milk, raw cream, raw egg yolks and raw honey comprise the basis for all the ice creams we make and each of those foods can be powerfully nourishing. Indeed eggs are one of my Top 10 Nutritional Powerhouses.
This ice cream should be made from the freshest cream you can find and, preferably, raw. Pastuerized cream tastes … well … cooked. I like to serve this ice cream with wild apricot sauce which accompanies the cinnamon particularly well.

This sounds so lovely! I find the nicest cream I can when I make ice cream, it really makes a difference!
That looks fantastic! I’ve been looking around for some new ice cream ideas. Thanks!!

MMMmmmmmmmm…That looks good!
And the amount of honey sounds reasonable (I’m going sugar/sweets free but I’m sure that a little treat once in a while won’t hurt).
Do you think this recipe would work with coconut milk as well?
Thanks

That’s a good question. I keep meaning to make coconut milk ice cream, but I’ve never gotten around to it. Maybe this weekend. I bet it would work nicely though.
This looks so good! We finally have a raw milk producer at our farmers market and we have really been enjoying it! Next time I get some I will have to make this ice cream!

That is so funny. I just make something very similar to this last night with our goat milk. Of course we didn’t have any goat cream so I didn’t think it was possible but with an extra egg yolk it turned out great! Next time I will add the cinnamon like you suggested. Looks great! Ours was outstanding!

I am definitely going to have to try it soon. Sounds fabulous!

Tam – They are very similar. Don’t mess with a good thing, right?
Wow! Cinnamon and honey ice cream sounds absolutely divine. What an awesome flavor combination!

So.. where does one get their hands on a wild apricot?
This ice cream looks so yummy, if only I could get my hands on some raw milk.
Taryn – Wild apricots are the best! They’re tiny too (about the size of a cherry). We get ours at the farmers market in July. The apricots I used to make this sauce I canned last year in a mild honey syrup.
I made this recipe for a Bible study group & we really enjoyed it. I think the ice cream was more “fluffy” than others that I made – therefore lighter & we enjoyed it a lot.
I think that I may try it with more cinnamon in it. I totally love cinnamon ice cream & am quite partial to it.
This sounds wonderful! I’ve been getting raw milk for about 8 months now. It comes with the cream on top. I skim most of it off, purposely leaving a good bit in the milk, and save it separately in the fridge. I make butter with it sometimes, which is pretty good, but kind of a pain. I’ve been on the lookout for more recipes for the cream. I don’t have an ice-cream maker, but I will try this recipe anyway. It’s just too good to pass up! I wonder if I should whip the cream first before adding the other ingredients…
So can I use maple syrup instead of honey for a different flavor? Please let me know asap as I hope to make this tonight or tomorrow! Thanks!
Absolutely – maple syrup would work beautifully.
