Lavender Ice Cream: Edible Flowers

Lavender Ice Cream
© 2009 Kevin D Weeks

This recipe proved to be quite a challenge. I found a recipe (from a usually dependable source) that used honey as the sweetener, but two separate attempts failed - the ice cream simply wouldn't set so I ended up with two batches of lavender and honey flavored soup. Upon subsequent investigation I discovered that honey is only suitable as an addition, not as the primary source of sugar. So I reworked the recipe to use sugar and added a bit of honey for flavor. It worked and is really quite good - and try adding a dollop of Nutella to it when you serve. Recipe here...
