Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) caramel sauce
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) sea salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, whole milk, prepared caramel sauce, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt, whisking until the ingredients are thoroughly blended and smooth.
- Pour the creamy caramel mixture into an ice cream churning machine, allowing it to rotate and aerate for approximately 25 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Carefully transfer the freshly churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, ensuring an even surface.
- Place the container in the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing the ice cream to solidify and develop a rich, creamy texture.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly, which will make scooping easier and enhance its luxurious mouthfeel.
Notes
- Chill ingredients beforehand to ensure a smoother, creamier texture without ice crystals.
- Adjust salt levels to create a perfect balance between sweet caramel and savory undertones.
- Use an instant-read thermometer when making caramel to prevent burning and achieve a rich golden color.
- For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream and milk with coconut cream and almond milk for a luscious alternative.
