Print Recipe

A smooth, creamy no-churn ice cream infused with subtle floral lavender and natural honey sweetness, perfect for an easy homemade summer treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • ¼ cup (85 g) mild honey (wildflower or clover recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Gently warm the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until just warm, not boiling.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in dried culinary lavender. Cover and steep for 15 minutes.
  3. Strain the cream through a fine mesh sieve to remove lavender buds and chill in the fridge until cold, about 30 minutes.
  4. Whip the chilled lavender-infused heavy cream to soft peaks using an electric mixer (3-4 minutes).
  5. In a separate bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until blended.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a rubber spatula, keeping the mixture airy.
  7. Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container, smooth the top, cover tightly, and freeze.
  8. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. Optionally, stir gently once or twice during the first 2 hours to prevent large ice crystals.
  9. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly.

Notes

Warm the cream gently to avoid bitterness from lavender. Use culinary-grade lavender only. Soft peaks for whipped cream are ideal to keep the ice cream light. Stirring during freezing is optional but helps prevent ice crystals. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream and sweetened condensed coconut milk.
