Yield Makes 1 1/2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
6 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
Garnish: flaky sea salt (optional)
Special Equipment
an instant-read thermometer; an ice cream maker

Steps:

  • Cook sugar and salt in a dry 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a long-handled wooden spoon, until sugar is melted into a deep golden caramel, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Carefully pour in cream (caramel will harden and steam vigorously). Simmer over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until caramel is dissolved. Whisk in milk and return just to a boil, then remove from heat.
  • Whisk together yolks and corn syrup in a large bowl until smooth, then add half of hot caramel cream in a slow stream, whisking until combined well. Add yolk mixture in a slow stream to caramel cream in pot, whisking, then cook over low heat, stirring constantly with wooden spoon, until mixture is thickened and thermometer registers 170 to 175°F, about 3 minutes.
  • Immediately pour caramel custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a metal bowl set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water. Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove custard from ice bath and chill, covered, until cold, about 1 hour. Freeze in an ice cream maker, then transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden, at least 4 hours.
  • Sprinkle scoops of ice cream with sea salt if desired.

This ice cream is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less sugar if you're not a fan of overly sweet desserts.

I'm not a big fan of caramel, but this ice cream was surprisingly good. The caramel flavor is very subtle and not overpowering.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my ice cream turned out icy and not at all creamy. I followed the recipe exactly.

I had some trouble getting the caramel to the right consistency. It was a bit too thick and ended up crystallizing in the ice cream.
