Ice Cream Base:

1 can (14 oz / ~400g) sweetened condensed milk

2 cups full-fat Greek yogurt

1 cup cold heavy cream

1 tsp vanilla extract0

Pinch of sea salt

Mix-ins:

¾ cup chopped toasted walnuts

Caramelized Honey Swirl:

½ cup Greek honey

1 tbsp butter

Pinch of salt

Directions

Make the Caramelized Honey:

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the honey until it starts to darken and bubble slightly (3–5 minutes). Stir in the butter and pinch of salt.Let it cool to room temperature—it will thicken slightly like a runny caramel.

Toast the Walnuts:

Toast chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.

Whip the Cream:

In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form (you can use a hand or stand mixer).

Combine:

In another bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Fold the whipped cream gently into the yogurt mixture until well combined. Stir in the toasted walnuts.

Layer & Swirl:

Pour half the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Drizzle some of the caramelized honey over it and lightly swirl with a spoon.

Repeat with the remaining ice cream mixture and more honey swirl on top.(Optional)

Sprinkle extra walnut pieces or coffee beans for a Greek patisserie touch.

Freeze:

Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight, until fully set.

To Serve:

Let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping. Drizzle with a little extra warm honey if you’re feeling fancy.
