Three Capes Whisky Honey Ice Cream
McHenry and Sons Distillery
Recipe by William McHenry
Serves 4
300ml double cream
60ml liquid honey
4 large egg yolks
60ml Three Capes Tasmanian Whisky
Whip the cream until thick, adding the whisky gradually whilst whipping. Gently heat the honey in a small saucepan. Meanwhile, beat the egg yolks in a bowl until well combined. Pour the warm honey into the bowl containing the yolks and carry on beating the mixture until it is pale and thick. Gently fold the cream mixture into the egg mixture. Churn in an ice cream machine or put the mixture into a freezer proof container and freeze for a minimum of three hours before serving.
Cooking Tip
Other spirits may be substituted for the whisky however take care to stick to the quantity specified as increasing the alcohol content may stop the ice cream from freezing properly.
