Description

Rich, velvety salted caramel ice cream offers pure indulgence with its perfect balance of sweet and salty notes. Creamy custard and golden caramel blend seamlessly, promising a luxurious dessert experience you’ll savor with each delightful spoonful.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Carefully transfer the freshly churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, ensuring an even surface.
  4. Place the container in the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing the ice cream to solidify and develop a rich, creamy texture.
  5. 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.
