Salted Caramel Ice Cream

It’s Friday! The best way to celebrate Friday? With ice cream. Salted Caramel Ice Cream. We can’t think of a better way to kick off the weekend. This ice cream is smooth, creamy, salty, sweet and incredibly delicious. Another thing we love about this recipe? You can name every. Single. Ingredient. Simple ingredients equal BIG FLAVOR.

Everyone asks us about making ice cream, and trust us. IT’S NOT THAT HARD. All you need is an ice cream maker. You might be asking yourselves, an ice cream maker? That’s gotta be expensive. It’s really not, they have makers as cheap as $40 on amazon. So maybe this year, ask Santa and Chanukah Harry for an ice cream maker this holiday season so you too can follow along with these seductive recipes!

You will see in the picture that when we photographed our ice cream with a maple bacon praline, for this recipe was used in our epic Pork-tastic dinner.

Ingredients

Step 1: 

In a medium bowl, whisk together chilled cream, whole milk, vanilla and half of the salted caramel.

Step 2: 

Put in the fridge and chill until cold.

Step 3: 

Once the mixture is good a cool, pull out and give it a good stir. Pour the base into your ice cream maker and make according to your manufactures instructions.

Step 4: 

Just about when the ice cream is frozen add the remaining salted caramel (room temperature) to the mixture to create ribbons throughout the ice cream. If you don’t want ribbons you can save the remaining caramel on top of the ice cream.

Transfer to a freezer safe container and chill until fully frozen.

Salted Caramel

It’s still too hot here in LA to be in the kitchen, so for today’s recipe we have a almost foolproof Salted Caramel. We’ve come across so many caramel recipes and they never turn out right, but this one, this one is AMAZING.

We’ve made this caramel multiple times and every time it’s perfect! We think it has to do with the warmed cream that you pour over the sugar and water. We promise you this recipe is nearly foolproof and everyone can make it!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Water
  • 1 Cup Heavy Cream (Hot)
  • 2 Tablespoons Salted Butter
  • Fleur De Sel Salt

Step 1:

In a medium sauce pan over high heat, dissolve the granulated sugar and water. Stirring constantly.

During that time, if the sides of the pans have sugar that start to crystallize, use a pastry brush dipped in water to remove the crystallized sugar.

Step 2:

Continue cooking until the sugar starts to turn a deep amber color. As soon as it starts to turn, remove from the heat, immediately.

Step 3:

Very carefully and slowly, pour the hot cream into the sugar mixture whisking/stirring constantly. Don’t be alarmed when this mixture starts to bubble, just keep stirring.

Step 4:

Next, add the butter and a pinch or two of the fleur de sel salt. Stir until smooth. If desired, add 1/2 teaspoon or so of vanilla extract.

Step 5:

Move to an air tight container, and allow to cool before placing in the fridge.

What is salted chocolate caramel crack, you might ask? It is the most delicious blend of saltines, caramel and chocolate. It’s the perfect sweet and salty snack. One thing we love here is eating salty crackers with chocolate, ever had Goldfish with Raisinettes..if not, get on that.

Once you start eating this “crack” you literally can’t stop. It’s addictive. It’s honestly kind of dangerous.

There are hundreds of recipes for this, but this is our take after we were inspired by watching the Cooking Channel’s Unique Sweets.
