Ice cream base
16 ounces organic heavy cream
2 1/2 cups organic whole milk
1/4 organic granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon maple syrup or 1 T maple sugar
1 t + 1 t tapioca starch
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
5 threads saffron
Honey roasted sunflower seeds
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon virgin coconut oil
1 tablespoon organic granulated sugar
1 teaspoon fine sea salt

1
-add the milk and cream in a medium size sauce pan.
2
-on medium/high heat gently boil them together.
3
-add the sugars and stir until dissolved.
4
-continue to gently boil to reduce the liquid mixture by at least a 1/4. *this will foam quite a bit so do yourself a favor and take a set at the stove, or else you will be cleaning a burnt on, milky mess.
5
-add the maple syrup, saffron, vanilla bean paste and salt, stir and turn off the heat.
6
-cover the cream and let all the ingredients steep for at least one hour.
7
-strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer and add back into the pot.
8
-add the reserved (cold) milk to the tapioca starch and mix with your clean fingers until it dissolves and add to the cream.
9
-stir until it thickens, about 3 minutes.
10
-store in a lidded container and refrigerate over night. This is necessary so it is completely cool.
11
-prepare your ice cream maker according to the manufactures directions, ie freeze the container.
12
-add the cold custard to your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturers directions. It took me about 20 minutes. Once the ice cream is finished you can fold in the honey roasted sunflower seeds and store in a freezer safe container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
