This is based on a recipe I tasted when I was teaching at the Ruth Pretty Cooking School in New Zealand. Ruth is a wonderful cook and food writer – all her recipes work beautifully. Begin this recipe a day ahead.

Ingredients (6)

  • 2/3 cup (230g) mild honey
  • 8 egg yolks
  • 600ml thickened cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 80g honeycomb, coarsely chopped
  • Muscat-poached fruits (see recipe), to serve

Don't forget you can add these ingredients to your Woolworths shopping list.

Method

  • 1.
    Place honey in small saucepan over medium heat and bring to the boil.
  • 2.
    Meanwhile, put egg yolks in a large stainless-steel bowl. Using an electric beater on high speed, start beating the egg yolks. When honey has boiled for 2 minutes, slowly pour into yolks, still beating. Beat for 6-8 minutes until the mixture is thick and pale, then cool.
  • 3.
    In a separate bowl, whisk cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Fold into the honey mixture, then fold in honeycomb.
  • 4.
    Line a 1-litre loaf pan or plastic container with plastic wrap. Pour in mixture and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Freeze overnight. (It keeps well in the freezer for at least 2 weeks.)
  • 5.
    To serve, very quickly dip the pan nearly to the rim in hot water. Wipe dry, then turn out onto a chilled platter. Slice and serve immediately with the fruits.
