Honey Pecan Ice Cream
Well you may have noticed a few changes around here…not least of which is the stunning new site which is still getting altered bit by bit by my very helpful nephew Luke! (Thank you) Of course, being the almost complete computer illiterate that I am, there may be more errors than not, but I believe it has all been brought over from the other site and should look better, feel better and of course, therefore BE better than ever before! So…please enjoy. I have also changed (finally), the name of my site, which was a little dated according to my very helpful fellow foodie Matt and hopefully this will find its mark! Same recipes, same chit chat, but much prettier and easier to navigate. I actually have a new home kitchen to show off on here as well, but that will wait for another day when I have had the professional photo shoot!
Today, as I languished in long awaited sunshine, my thoughts naturally turned to ice cream, and as we have had a recent honey harvest, I knew a honey ice cream would be a real treat…honey and pecan to be precise, so brace yourselves…one serving of this will never do, and it is so easy that I’m almost embarrassed to call it a recipe!
NEED:
3 eggs
75g fresh honey
300g milk
300g ice cold whipping cream
150g toasted pecan nut pieces
DO:
Place eggs and honey into Thermomix bowl and blend for 1 minute on speed 3.
Add milk and cook for 7 minutes at 90oC on speed 4. Cool completely.
Place cream into Thermomix bowl and whip for 20-40 seconds until holding stiff peaks.
Fold through nuts and cooled custard by adding all to the Thermomix bowl and gently stirring together on Reverse + speed 3.
Place into metal tray or bowl and freeze for several hours until solid. Soften in fridge for around 20 minutes before serving.
Not very sweet, creamy and oh those toasted pecans…very adult ice cream…the kids will stay away in droves, but that is the idea after all!
Great new site, but the font seems to have shrunk – bad for blind old people like me
Sounds simple but delish – good work.
Tenina, I really like the new site. I find it very easy to use.
Thermomixer ~ you’ll have to rely on glasses, like the rest of us old folk!!
Cookie ~ thanks for your comments, I am having fun myself again on the new site…much easier to play around with and so much prettier I think!!
Looks fantastic. Instead of putting into the freezer could you use an icecream machine?
Tenina, love the new look and can’t wait to try this ice cream! Should go down a treat with the horrid weather we have been having in Adelaide!
You can put it into an ice cream churner, but without the pecans for obvious reasons. Add the nuts at the end of the churning just to stir through before it really freezes solidly!
Hi Tenina! This recipe looks lovely. I just picked up my Thermomix yesterday (and love it already), and lucky for me I just received a massive tub of honey straight from my uncle’s bees in his backyard! This will be the first TM icecream I try, and I can’t wait. Thanks!
I made this icecream the other day and we love the taste of it. Not too sweet as you said. I found that the custard curdled, but a quick whizz soon fixed that.
Yes, Thank goodness for a Thermofix!! You can’t help but think that it is all so much harder without the little wunderkind!
