Homemade 3-Ingredient Maple Syrup Ice Cream
(8 servings)
Ingredients
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 1 ½ cup favorite Meridan Hill Maple Syrup
- 2 egg yolks
- OPTIONAL: chopped walnuts, candied pecans or crumbled bacon
Directions:

2. Using a large bowl, whisk the two egg yolks and the maple syrup together. Add to the pot with the steaming cream.
3. Stir the cream, egg, and syrup mixture well making sure it’s hot!

2. Freeze for at least 45 minutes before serving.
If you don’t have an ice cream maker:

2. Then, place semi-frozen mixture into the chilled* bowl of a stand mixer. Whip until it forms a thick mixture.
3. Transfer to freezer-safe containers for ice cream to set.
*chill the bowl of your stand mixer by putting it in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Before freezing, grab a muffin tin and line with cupcake liners. Pour some of the mixture into each section and place a wooden skewer or popsicle stick in the center. Once frozen, place the muffin tin on a serving table alongside toppings such as maple sugar, chopped nuts, and even crumbled bacon bits for easy-to-grab, make-your-own single servings.
