Without any eggs or cream, this dairy free variation is easy to make, and requires no cooking. All the ingredients are poured into a high-powered blender until well incorporated then transferred into an ice cream maker. Because this required no actual heating or raw eggs, I encourage you to taste the ice cream and add more or less honey depending on what you like.
