Ingredients

  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 3 cups half-and-half
  • cup + 2 tablespoons honey divided
  • 8 ounces cream cheese cubed and softened
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ cup fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  • In large saucepan, combine egg yolks, half-and-half and 2/3 cup honey. Cook over medium-high heat 8 to 10 minutes or until slightly thickened, whisking constantly. 
  • Remove pan from heat. Add cream cheese, vanilla bean paste and cinnamon and whisk until cream cheese is melted and mixture is smooth. Strain mixture through fine-mesh strainer set over medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap placed directly on custard; transfer to refrigerator and chill completely.
  • Pour custard mixture into ice cream machine and freeze according to instructions for machine.
  • Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together blueberries and remaining 2 tablespoons honey.
  • When ice cream has finished churning (mixture will be soft), spread 1/3 of ice cream in freezer-safe storage container. Layer with 1/3 of blueberry mixture and 1/3 of graham cracker crumbs. Repeat layers 2 more times. Transfer ice cream to freezer to harden completely (at least 8 hours) before serving.

Notes

  • You can serve this straight from the machine as soft serve, or follow the instructions for layering with the extra ingredients.
