When I set out to use our second packet of ice cream mix from The Curious Creamery, I wanted to go with something autumnal. We don’t really do pumpkin around here, so I opted for apple — and once I was thinking along those lines, I decided to do honey-apple for Rosh Hashanah/Yom Teruah. (Yes, I know Rosh Hashanah is already past this year, but for next year. In the meantime, it still tastes good.)
The ingredients for this are pretty simple: honey, applesauce, and cinnamon — and of course the ice cream mix. The honey is actually optional, but it obviously won’t be honey-apple ice cream if you leave it out.
Honey-Apple Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1 packet of The Curious Creamery ice cream mix
- 1 Tbsp. honey opt.
- 3/4 c. unsweetened applesauce just under -- see instructions
- 3/4 tsp. cinnamon
Instructions
- Spoon 1 tablespoon honey into a measuring cup (optional). Add applesauce to make 3/4 cup.
- Dump the contents of the mix packet into the carton, add cinnamon and the wet ingredients.*
- With an electric hand mixer, mix well to combine, then continue to beat on high, in a zig-zag motion, until the volume has increased to the level indicated on the carton.
- Freeze for 2-6 hours or until firm.
- Enjoy!
Notes
*It is not recommended that you use the ice cream mix manually (i.e. with a whisk) or with a blender or food processor. If you do not have an electric hand mixer, you can use a stand mixer. However, in this case you should double the recipe (using two packets), and will need to freeze in your own container (because a double batch won't fit in the provided carton).
[…] For our second batch, I knew I wanted to do something healthier — fruit or something. Since it’s autumn, I was leaning toward something like pumpkin spice, but no one in my family really eats pumpkin. So I decided to go with apple instead. I’ll put that recipe in another post (because this is already getting long, and it was pretty good, so we’ll give it its own space). For now, I’ll just say that it was still remarkably easy, and it was good. (Still overly dense because of my goof from earlier, but good.) [Click here for the Honey-Apple Ice Cream recipe.] […]
