Recipe Reviews
friederike from Berlin,
I really, really loved this ice cream! My husband was less enthousiast - he thought the flavour of the lavender was too strong. He as a point, as we used honey with a strong flavour we had been given recently by a bekeeper, and if you use an ordinary honey that doesn't have such a strong flavour, the lavender would probably be overpowering.
In any way, lavender makes a great ice cream. It works less well as Lavender Crème Brûlée
We served it as a 'grand dessert' with Chocolate Brownies (shaped with cookie cutters; top left), raspberry coulis, top right, and Lemon Mousse served in a coffee cup, bottom left - the ice cream went really well with the brownies, the rest got lost a bit. Scattered inbetween are fresh raspberries, they looked nicer than they do in the photo.
