Honey Ice Cream & Beeswax Paper Recipes 🍯🐝 thank you so much to my friends at Thorne who very kindly gifted me some of my wonderful bee equipment. These cedar hives are straight out of a picture book!
Ice Cream
12 egg yolks
200 g caster sugar
1200 ml double cream
500 ml milk
100 g honey
Pinch sea salt
Honeycomb
200 g caster sugar
100 ml honey
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
Add the egg yolks & sugar to a large mixing bowl & whisk together for 1 min until pale. Add the cream & milk to a large saucepan & heat until just steaming. Pour the liquid into the egg yolks very slowly, whisking until combined. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan & cook over low heat until it starts to thicken (at about 80ºC or when it coats the back of a spoon). Once thickened, transfer to a large container, allow to cool, then pop in the freezer. Every hour or so give it a mix with a whisk. After 3-4 hours it should have started to set. Add the honey & sea salt, stir & place back in the freezer to finish setting.
For the honeycomb, heat the sugar & honey in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved & the mixture is bubbling. Add the bicarb & stir quickly. Once it bubbles & foams, quickly pour into a large metal tin. Leave to cool until set. To remove from the tin, flip it over onto a tray, then firmly tap the base with a rolling pin. It should come away in shards.
To serve, crumble the honeycomb over the set ice cream & enjoy.
Beeswax Papers:
100% cotton fabric
Beeswax
*Note — use equipment you’re not too precious about as the beeswax can be tricky to remove!
Cut your fabric into any size you like using pinking shears. Melt a small amount of beeswax in a small glass jar. Heat a large baking tray in the oven, then remove & lay a piece of fabric onto it. The tray will keep the beeswax hot as you brush it on. Take an old paintbrush & brush a thin layer of wax over the fabric, then peel it from the tray, hold in the air for a few seconds to dry, then set aside. Repeat until all your squares are covered.
