Milk and honey

First make the ice cream. Place 250g milk, sugar and the stabiliser in a pan and heat up to a bare simmer, then add the gelatine. Whisk to dissolve the gelatine then remove from the heat

Add the cream and remaining 500g milk to the pan and heat to 80°C, then blend until smooth. Alternatively, add the cream, remaining 500g milk and the gelatin mixture to a Thermomix and blend and heat to 80°C

Chill the ice cream mixture in the fridge and then churn in an ice cream maker. Transfer to a container and freeze until solid. Alternatively, transfer to Pacojet containers. Freeze until solid and then blend in the Pacojet

For the honeycomb, carefully heat the sugar, honey and glucose in a very large pan until 160°C

Sieve the bicarbonate of soda. Butter a baking tray very thoroughly and line it with baking paper

Take the pan off the heat and add the sieved bicarbonate of soda carefully – it will bubble up very quickly and vigorously. Stir the honeycomb mixture until the soda is completely incorporated but there is still a lot of foam

Pour into the lined tray and let cool to room temperature, then transfer to the fridge to chill thoroughly. This will take about 1 hour

For the honey sponge, cream together the butter, honey and sugar. Whisk in the eggs one at a time

Fold in the flour

Grease and line a quarter gastro tray. Add the sponge cake mixture to the tray and spread out evenly

Cook the cake at 165°C fan for 20–25 minutes then check on it – it might need up to 10 more minutes

For honey crumb, blend the dry ingredients together then add the butter a cube at a time, and finally beat in the honey

Bake at 160°C, checking every 5 minutes and breaking up and stirring as it cooks

For the milk and honey foam, add all the ingredients to a Thermomix and cook at 80°C for 8 minutes or until thickened. Alternatively, heat the mixture to 80°C on the stove

Foam the mixture with N20 chargers in a cream whipper

To serve, place the crumb, sponge and honeycomb in a bowl, scoop the milk ice cream on top then cover with milk & honey foam. Drizzle some raw honey over the top
