Fancy a scoop of elegance with your dessert? This Gluten Free Lavender Ice Cream is the epitome of posh indulgence, perfect for those days when you want to fell a little extra without the guilt (or gluten).

Today, we’re making Gluten Free Lavender Honey Ice Cream. This flavor was requested by my stepson, who has a very sophisticated palate thanks to all the weird food I've forced him to eat over time. To add a delightful pop of color, we’re going to use a teaspoon of Purple Potato Powder.
Yes, you read that right. Purple Potatoes! While I have no qualms about pumping my children full of artificial dyes in private, I am going to pretend to be better than that on the internet. Plus, purple potatoes are allegedly the secret to living until you’re 100 according to some documentary I half-watched. So, let's whip up this Gluten-Free Ice Cream Recipe that’s Instagram-worthy, kid-approved, and (almost) health-conscious! Feel free to add a drop of purple food coloring instead of the potato powder or purchase it here if you too want to live to 100 by eating ice cream (results not guaranteed).
Now, a quick side note on this recipe: we’re skipping the eggs because my youngest is allergic to them. As much as I love a good ice cream, I'm not about to accidentally ruin her. So, egg-free it is! I don't notice any difference anyway and it skips a whole step too.
Another side note, if you're looking for something a little more cozy for a treat, try our scrumptious Gluten Free Tiramisu, Violet's Amazing Gluten Free Chocolate Mug Cake, or a true British indulgence....our Decadent Gluten Free Banoffee Pie. These are always crowd favorites and satisfies any sweet tooth cravings.

How to Make This Delicious Gluten-Free Ice Cream Recipe
Yield: 4-6 Servings Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook/Rest Time: 35 minutes / 4 hours
Ingredients
2 cups heavy cream
1 ¾ cups whole milk (because if we’re making ice cream, we’re not holding back)
¾ cup honey – local if you can, because bees are saving our planet and it tastes better.
1 tbsp dried culinary lavender – yes, you read that right, we’re going floral here.
1 tsp purple potato powder – because we’re classy like that, but hey, if you don't have it, a drop of food coloring works too.
Pinch of salt – to balance all that sweetness and add a little chef-y flair.
Instructions
Heat things up. In a saucepan, gently heat up that heavy cream along with the lavender until it just starts to simmer. Don’t let it boil, or things will get weird. Then, pull it off the heat, cover it, and let it steep for a good 15-20 minutes. Basically, we’re making lavender tea... out of cream. Fancy, right?
Strain and sweeten. Once it’s steeped and smells like a floral dream, strain out the lavender buds. Then, pour in that glorious honey and give it a stir until the honey’s fully dissolved and the whole mix is sweet and silky.
Cool it down. Add in the cold milk, a little pinch of salt, and either the purple potato powder (if you’re feeling gourmet) or just a drop of purple food coloring for that Instagram-ready hue. Stir it all up!
Chill time. If you’re using a classic ice cream maker, chill the mixture well in the fridge first. Pour it into a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap (pressing it down onto the surface so you don’t get that weird skin) and stick it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or, even better, overnight. You want it cold, cold, cold!
If you’ve got a Whysper machine (because we’re high-tech now), there’s no need for all that waiting around. Just pour the mix straight in, turn it on, and let the machine do its thing. The built-in compressor handles everything, no freezing bowls or chilling time. Just press start and go live your life.... total lifesaver!!
Freeze for firmness. Once it’s churned into creamy lavender heaven, transfer it to a lidded container (I’m partial to a good sturdy one that keeps the frost out) and pop it in the freezer for a couple of hours to firm up. After that, you’re ready to scoop and serve.
Pro Tips / Suggestions:
Don’t Go Overboard with the Lavender – A little lavender goes a long way! Use just enough to get that dreamy floral flavor without making it taste like you’ve raided your nan’s perfume stash. Start small and adjust to taste—it's ice cream, not potpourri!
Serve Like A Pro - Serve your lavender honey ice cream in Gluten Free Waffle Cones (what? You didn't know they existed? You are welcome!), topped with a drizzle of extra honey, and maybe a sprinkle of edible flowers if you’re feeling extra fancy.
Add a Citrus Zing – A touch of lemon zest or a squeeze of juice can brighten the lavender flavor and keep it from tasting too heavy. It’s like giving your ice cream a cheeky little lift!
Now you’re ready to churn out a floral masterpiece. This creamy, dreamy, gluten-free ice creamy will be the smoothest lavender honey ice cream you’ve ever tasted, with a color that could only be described as "fancy lavender." Perfect for impressing guests... or eating straight from the container in your PJs. No judgment here!
