I always take my ice cream machine out from the storage, when the temperatures are starting to go above 0°C. That's basically ice cream weather, right? Today, yet again, I got inspired by a song to make this ice cream, Metronomy's Salted Caramel Ice Cream. She's like a dream...
Makes 1-quart ice cream
Ingredients
375 ml whole milk
375 ml heavy whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla extract or paste
5 egg yolks
50 gr sugar
125 gr Salted Caramel Sauce
Equipment
An ice cream machine
Instructions
1. Prepare your ice cream machine according to instructions.
2. To make the custard, in a medium-sized pot, bring milk, cream, and vanilla to simmer. In the meantime, in a medium-sized bowl whisk egg yolks with sugar until pale. Once the milk mixture starts simmering, slowly pour the milk mixture into the egg mixture. Pour back the mixture into the pot and cook until it reaches 82°C/180°F, while constantly stirring. It should coat the back of a spoon and should leave a line when you trace your fingertip. Add 75 gr salted caramel sauce and mix completely with a blender. Pour it into a large bowl, and cover with cling film touching the custard. Leave it to cool for 6 hours or overnight.
3. Use instructions of your machine to turn chilled custard into ice cream. Once it is ready add an extra 50 gr of salted caramel sauce and mix to create swirls. Store in a freezer-safe tub and chill for at least 4 hours. Enjoy!
