    Split the vanilla bean and scrape the seeds into the cream. Add the scraped bean to the cream and heat until it just begins to simmer and then remove from the heat.

    In a bowl that fits into a medium-sized saucepan, whisk the egg yolks until they are light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Pour the hot cream over them while continuing to whisk. Add the honey and place the bowl over a saucepan of just simmering water until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

    To serve, roll scoops of the ice cream in the nuts until they are well coated. Drizzle with extra honey to taste.
