Custard Freeze, Sunny Style

Instructions

1. Heat coconut cream in a pot over medium heat to 170°F.
2. Temper the egg yolks and then add egg yolk mixture back into the hot coconut cream. (To temper egg yolks, drizzle a portion of the hot coconut cream into the egg yolks while whisking. This prevents the egg yolks from cooking and turning into scrambled eggs once added into the hot coconut cream.)
3. Continue to whisk mixture over low heat for 2-3 minutes until mixture thickens slightly. Mixture should be around 170°F. For food safety, always ensure eggs are cooked to 160° F and/or use pasteurized eggs.
4. Remove pot from heat and place in an ice bath. Stir the mixture to cool. If using regular honey, you can add honey and flavorings at this time. If using raw honey, cool the mixture to 105°F before adding in the honey.
5. Cool and then freeze mixture.
6. Once frozen, remove from the freezer and allow to thaw at room temperature.
7. Add mixture to food processor or blender and process until mixture reaches the consistency of soft serve ice cream.
8. Serve immediately or transfer to a container and freeze for later. Enjoy!
