You will enjoy the rich, indulgent flavor of homemade ice cream with the perfect balance of sweet and salty in every bite.
How do you make salted caramel ice cream?
Directions:
For best results, chill your mixing bowl and beaters.
Start with a large mixing bowl and add the eggs and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk together until combined.
Place this bowl over a double boiler with hot water. Whisk the mixture over the heat until it thins out, steams and becomes frothy on top, about 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and add the salt and vanilla bean paste.
Take a hand mixer and blend until it slightly thickens, becoming lighter and foamier, about 7 minutes.
Fold in ¼ cup of the salted caramel sauce into the egg mixture until combined. Set this aside.
In a separate, larger bowl, add the heavy cream. Whip the cream mixture on high speed with a hand mixer until the cream has stiff peaks.
Pour mixture on top of the whipped heavy cream and fold them together until no streaks remain and the two are completely incorporated.
Pour this into a loaf pan and top by drizzling the rest of the caramel sauce.
Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Store in an airtight container to keep the ice cream fresh and avoid freezer burn.
You’ll want to serve your homemade ice cream in bowls or cones, and if you’re feeling extra indulgent, drizzle with a bit more caramel sauce or a sprinkle of sea salt.
