Spanish cuisine has a rich history that is expressed through their cuisine. There is no better way to enjoy Spanish cuisine than through their food. And what would be a better way to escape into the flavours and aromas of Spain than with a cold creamy spoonful of Spanish Saffron Honey ice cream. The essence of saffron and honey gives a refreshing twist to the mostly chocolate and vanilla ice cream menus. This recipe is easy to follow, and sure to add an element of exotic into your life.

Instructions

1.In a small saucepan, heat up the milk and saffron thread over medium heat until steaming hot. Turn off heat and let stand for 30 minutes to infuse the saffron flavour.
2.In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and caster sugar until pale yellow in colour and lightened in texture. Pour in the honey, whisking continuously until well combined.
3.Pour the saffron-infused milk through a strainer into the egg mixture, whisking quickly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon.
4.Pour the mixture into a bowl and leave to cool down to room temperature. Once cooled, stir in the double cream, whisking until well combined. Cover with cling film and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
5.Churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once churned, transfer to a freezer-safe container, cover with cling film, and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
