The graham cracker crumbs add a bit of sweetness as well as texture to this unusual ice cream. Known to be nutritious, graham crackers added to the perception of this as a healthful dessert. It used to be necessary to give up the ice cube section of the refrigerator for a while if you wanted to make ice cream without an old-fashioned, hand-cranked, back-porch style ice cream maker. Today, the first step can be done in a baking pan in the freezer or in any kind of automatic ice cream maker.
1 cup milk
¼ cup honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
Combine milk, honey, and vanilla. Freeze in ice cube trays of automatic refrigerator or in a baking pan in the freezer just until center begins to set.
Beat cubes of frozen milk mixture with electric mixer until fluffy. Fold in graham cracker crumbs and then whipped cream. Return to ice cube trays without dividers or pack into freezer containers. Freeze until solid before serving.

“Make smaller cakes. Use ½ or ⅓ of recipe. Make cup cakes. Serve uniced. Bake part of batter as layer or loaf… the other part as cup cakes. Add chocolate or spices to part of batter.
