Royalberry ice-cream was actually pretty easy to make. In Birth By Sleep it calls for 7 Gaspberries, 10 Nebula Nectars, 8 Birthday Cakes, and 7 Rose Honeys. It was described as “a raspberry ice-cream with a hint of sour hiding under all that sweet.” This actually made the fantasy ingredients pretty easy to convert. Gaspberries were obviously raspberries and rose honey is an actual real thing, no conversion needed. Birthday cake I interpreted as cake mix in order to make a cake flavored ice-cream, which left me with Nebula Nectar. The only nectar flavored ice-cream I ever had was flavored with agave nectar, which is in fact a little bit sour and a lot sweet. I started with a basic recipe for cake flavored ice-cream and went from there.

Ingredients

•1 cup whole milk
•½ cup granulated sugar
•¼ cup rose honey
•2 cups heavy cream
•1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•½ teaspoon raspberry extract
•1 teaspoon agave nectar
•2/3 cup cake mix
•Fresh raspberries
Directions

1.In a medium bowl, whisk milk, sugar, and honey together until well combined
2.Stir in heavy cream, vanilla extract, raspberry extract, and agave nectar. Adjust extracts to taste depending on how sour or sweet you like it.
3.Stir in cake mix, make sure there are no lumps.
4.Pour mixture into ice-cream maker and let it thicken.
5.Store in the freezer.
Verdict

Well, if this ice-cream is anything, it’s faithful to the cannon. It’s a very sweet raspberry cake ice-cream that is only made sweeter by the honey and agave nectar. The recipe originally called for 3/4th of a cup of sugar but I replaced that with the rose honey (rather than simply adding on) to cut the sweetness a little. This made the cream thicken a bit slower but not to the degree that it ruined the recipe.

In the end, the ice-cream wasn’t really my thing, but I can see its appeal. Like I said before it was VERY sweet, and almost all that sweetness came from fruit and honey. So if you have a sweet tooth and like really fruity ice-cream, then this is the ice-cream for you. It’s a well-made recipe, it’s just not something I’d personally get at Baskin Robins any time soon. I prefer smoothness to sweetness.
