Notes

  • Milk choice (Assumption): whole milk makes it creamier; 2% or plant milk also works.
  • No heavy cream? Replace with the same amount of milk for a lighter texture.
  • If you don’t have lemon honey, use regular honey plus a pinch of lemon zest.
  • For best texture, stir once after 10–15 minutes of chilling, then chill fully.
