Salted Caramel Ice Cream

🍰 Desserts

Burnt-sugar caramel custard with flaky salt, the flavour that took over the world. Cold, creamy and scoopable — no ice crystals, no apologies. Keeps a week in the freezer — surface it with parchment between sessions.

Prep 28 min Cook 3 min Serves 6 Medium

Ingredients

  • Heavy Cream1/4 cup
  • Salta pinch
  • Milk1 litre
  • Sugar1/2 cup
  • Vanilla Extract1 tsp
  • Brown Sugar1/2 cup
  • Egg Yolk1 cup, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Chill the mixture base thoroughly before churning — cold bases freeze with finer, creamier texture.

  2. 2

    Dissolve the sugar into the base — warm gently for custard styles, just stir for fruit bases.

  3. 3

    Add the heavy cream to the cold mixture and churn-ready taste: it should taste slightly too strong.

  4. 4

    Churn until it holds a soft peak and mounds slowly off the paddle.

  5. 5

    Ripen in the freezer overnight for the cleanest scoops.

Chef's tip

Weigh your flour if you can; cup measures can be off by twenty percent either way.
