Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 tbsp dried culinary lavender buds
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, heat 1/3 cup honey and 1 tbsp dried culinary lavender buds over low heat for 5 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and strain out lavender buds, reserving infused honey.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whip 2 cups heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the lavender-infused honey, 1 cup sweetened condensed milk, and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Step 4: Gently fold the honey mixture into the whipped cream until fully combined, taking care not to deflate the cream.
5. Step 5: Pour the mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
6. Step 6: Scoop and serve chilled.
