honey-almond ice cream
Oh, Honey Honey.
It's Wednesday... I'm over here trying not to pull my hair out. Somehow, my little apartment falls apart by midweek... every week. Dirty dishes fill the sink, clothes are everywhere, overdue library books lurk in corners and under beds, smudges, finger prints, and toothpaste dot the mirrors, and a thick coat of dust has already managed to settle across the house. (I dust every stinkin' Saturday.) Wednesday nights, I should buckle down and scourge my house. But instead, I look the other way and eat a bowl of ice cream. With every bite, the tragedy that is my apartment seems less and less urgent. By the time I'm scraping the bottom of the bowl, I don't even see the need to wash it. I just toss it into the sink to tackle tomorrow.
But, seriously, this is such an elegant blend of salty and sweet... a subtle honey ice cream paired with salted, roasted almonds. It's possible that this is edible perfection and a very appropiate dessert for that first blush of spring.
And, all you need to make this stuff is hand mixer. No ice cream maker required. I know. Awesome sauce. No, I'm not sorry I said that, but I probably will be tomorrow.

VERY pretty picture my dear!
Gorgeous styling! I love that Wednesdays are your scrub down days. My apartment tends to fall apartment around this time, too. I need to implement your approach!
I just made vanilla ice cream and I'm really excited about it, I want to try your recipe it sounds pretty good with honey
This is beautiful, so excited to find your blog!
Tomorrow ... I will know how it tastes ...
Maybe, it will work :)
I just put a batch in the freezer and am SO excited! Thanks so much for the how-to. I have a feeling my birthday (2 days away!) will be so much better with this ice cream to ring it in;). Love your blog and am looking forward to more! Thank you!!
Hey, this is the best against stress I ever tried. Works perfectly even when youre happy :)
I used normal condensed milk instead, I don't like it too sweet - and wow ... leaving to eat the rest ...
Oh my that looks awesome and delish! No ice cream maker needed has sold me and I just bought honey yesterday. LOL, it's a sign. Now to add heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk and salted roasted almonds to my next weeks shopping list.
What gorgeous pictures! Great idea, I love that there's no machine needed.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.....I don't have an ice-cream maker, and these days it seems to be essential to have all these 'gadgets' in your kitchen ! Like 'OMG, YOU DON'T HAVE A MICROWAVE, how on earth can you function ??' haha. I most certainly will be trying your recipe...what did people do before the 'ice-cream maker' ?
I've just gotta try this but think I'll use dried cranberries instead of almonds.
Your photos are exquisite and I love the idea of a slightly salty sweet semi-frodo. Mmmm...now I need to make room in the freezer. Thank you for sharing!
Can you clarify whether it takes 3 or 10 hours to freeze?
Found this on Pinterest and made it earlier this week. Very tastey! My husband and I really like it. I kept it in the freezer for over 24 hours and it came out MUCH softer than expected (softer than your pic - I could not get a real scoop as you do). Just wondering what I could have done wrong (beat cream too much or too little, fold ingredients in too much or too little). Do you have any trouble shooting tips? Thank you very much for sharing this recipe!
Great recipe, I tried it and it is really great! I linked this at my blog, hope it is ok!!
