Steps
- Ice Cream: In a medium bowl whisk together egg yolks and honey until smooth.
- In a medium saucepan warm heavy cream, sugar and salt over medium heat until sugar has completely dissolved and mixture comes to a simmer.
- Gradually pour warm cream mixture into egg mixture, whisking constantly. Transfer mixture back to saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula until mixture begins to thicken, 6-8 minutes.
- Transfer mixture to a clean bowl nested in a larger bowl filled halfway with ice water. Continue to stir over the ice bath until the mixture cools to room temperature, about 10 minutes. Whisk in FAGE Total and vanilla.
- Cover the custard mixture and chill at least 2 hours.
- Pour custard mixture into the freezer container of an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s directions, adding pecans during the last 5 minutes of churning. Transfer to a freezer safe container or pan and freeze at least 1 hour or until completely set.
- To Serve: Scoop ice cream into waffle cones, drizzle with more honey, and sprinkle with pecans. Serve immediately.
- Store leftovers covered in the freezer.
