Honey and Thyme Ice Cream

Jump to Recipe
Spread the love

No churn ice cream is the quick and easy way to make your favorite summertime dessert.

No churn ice cream is everywhere I look on instagram these days. My friends Amanda and Anita have both made really delicious recipes, (all of their recipes look beautiful and delicious) that they inspired me to jump in on this trend. I love baking with herbs. Some of my favorite things that I have made (that will one day grace this blog) are rosemary and thyme shortbread cookies and my chocolate and rosemary cupcakes. When I was thinking about what flavor of ice cream I might want to make I wanted a sweet but savory flavor, and that is how the no churn honey and thyme ice cream recipe was born.

What will you need?

  1. 2 cups of heavy cream (very cold)
  2. lots and lots of thyme
  3. 3 tablespoon honey (I used regular honey but you can use a different flavor if you wish)
  4. 1 teaspoon vanilla
  5. 8 oz cream cheese (one block)
  6. 1 can condensed milk

How do you make no churn ice cream?

It is pretty easy to make which is why it is so lovely.

  1. Take your cream cheese and condensed milk and place into your mixer. You are going to want to use your whisk attachment.
  2. Mix together for a few minutes until it is smooth and there are no lumps from the cream cheese. If you need to scrape down the sides a couple of times to make sure everything is incorporated then do it!
  3. Add your vanilla
  4. Pour in your heavy cream and mix it on high until it has the texture of a really good whipped cream.
  5. Put the honey and thyme leaves in the mix and mix it about 30 seconds more.
  6. Place it in the container you plan to freeze it in and cover it.
  7. Put in the freezer and leave it there until it is completely frozen.

Why should you make this no churn ice cream?

This ice cream has such a beautiful flavor. It is non-traditional and unique. It is sure to wow you and whomever you serve it to. It is refreshing from the thyme and is sweet from the condensed milk and the honey. If you wanted to bring it up even one notch more, I would serve it with fresh oranges. Orange, honey, and thyme is a killer taste combination.
