Print Recipe

A silky, no-churn ice cream infused with floral lavender and naturally sweetened with honey, perfect for a refreshing homemade dessert without an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/3 cup (113 g) honey
  • 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: fresh lavender sprigs for garnish
  • Optional: a few drops almond extract

Instructions

  1. Pour 2 cups (480 ml) of heavy cream into a small saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender. Heat gently over low heat until just warm (about 140°F / 60°C), stirring occasionally. Do not boil. Remove from heat and let steep for 20 minutes.
  2. Using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, strain the lavender-infused cream into a clean bowl to remove buds. Press gently to extract all the flavor. Chill the cream in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Using an electric mixer or hand whisk, whip the chilled lavender cream until soft peaks form—about 3-5 minutes. Don’t overbeat.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk with 1/3 cup (113 g) honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a spatula, keeping as much air as possible in the mix.
  6. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  7. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easy scooping.

Notes

Use cold cream and chilled bowls for easier whipping. Do not overheat cream to avoid curdling. Fold whipped cream gently to keep airiness. Freeze at least 6 hours or overnight for best texture. Can substitute coconut cream and dairy-free condensed milk for a vegan version.
