Let's get started
Preparation time
10 minutes
Time cooking
15 minutes
Total time
25 minutes
Preparation – 10 minutes
Combine the milk and cream in a medium saucepan and heat slowly. Meanwhile, add the sugar and a tablespoon of water to a small saucepan.
Do not stir, just let it heat gently until the sugar starts to caramelise. Be careful! Caramel is extremely hot!
Once the sugar turns a brown colour, the caramel is ready,. Gently stir the caramel into the milk and cream mixture with a whisk.
Finishing the caramel ice cream – 15 minutes + waiting time
Put 4 egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of sugar in the bowl of your stand mixer and beat until the mixture turns pale. This takes about 4 - 5 minutes on high speed.
Carefully pour in the hot milk and cream mixture. Keep mixing to prevent the egg yolks from congealing. Pour the mixture back into the medium saucepan and let it heat up over a low heat.
Keep stirring, gently, with a spatula. The caramel ice cream mixture will have thickened slightly after a few minutes. If you can draw a visible line with your finger on the spatula, through the caramel ice cream mixture, then it is ready.
Let the mixture cool, then pour it into the bowl of the ice cream maker. After around 40 minutes of churning (depending on your ice cream maker), the caramel ice cream will be ready.
Scoop the ice cream into an airtight container and store in the freezer. Enjoy!
