Preparation Steps
1
In a saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, honey, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not boil!
2
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually pour a small amount of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
3
Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly (about 5 minutes).
4
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and whiskey.
5
Let the mixture cool completely. Pour into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until you reach a creamy consistency.
6
If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes to prevent ice crystals from forming.
7
Once the ice cream has reached the desired consistency (after about 4-5 hours of freezing), serve drizzled with honey or garnished with caramelized nuts.
