Preparation Steps
1
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk, heavy cream, and freshly brewed espresso over medium heat until it's almost simmering. Do not let it boil!
2
Add the honey and sugar, stirring until completely dissolved.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until light and frothy. Slowly drizzle in a small amount of the warm milk-cream mixture to temper the yolks and prevent them from curdling.
4
Pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
5
Remove from heat and stir in the cinnamon, ginger, cloves, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Let cool completely.
6
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
7
When the ice cream is almost done churning, add the gingerbread crumbles to give the ice cream a crunchy texture.
8
Transfer the finished ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 3 hours to achieve the desired consistency.
