Impress your friends and family with your culinary skills and watch their eyes light up with every decadent bite. With rich vanilla bean flecks and luscious caramel swirls, this ice cream rivals the finest artisan brands.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 vanilla pod
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
Method:
Prepare the vanilla bean by splitting it lengthwise and scraping out the seeds with the back of a knife.
Place the heavy cream, milk, sugar, salt and scraped vanilla seeds in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add the vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour or until completely cold.
Pour the cooled mixture into an ice-cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
When the ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency, gently fold in the caramel sauce to create a marbled effect.
Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze until the desired consistency is reached.
