Almond and Lavender Honey Ice Cream

Recipe printer with permission from American Almond Products Company, Inc. 

Almonds require bees for pollination and often those bees sup the nectar of fragrant lavender. So the combination of an ice cream with the delicate scent of almonds, honey and lavender speaks to the summer season.   This recipe is simple to make because there is no egg custard base. The Love’n Bake Almond Paste helps give it the creaminess associated with custard-style ice creams although it does have a bit of texture from the ground nuts in the paste. If you can’t find lavender honey, use a light clover-type honey and add a small amount of lavender blossoms to the mixture or omit the lavender entirely.

Serve this alone, with a crisp cookie such as an Almond Macaroon or atop a bowl of fresh
