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.

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.
