Salted Caramel Ice Cream

A rich, creamy ice cream with a sweet and salty caramel swirl.

Ingredients - Serves 8

In a medium saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat until it turns a deep amber color.
Add the butter and stir until melted. Remove from heat.
Slowly whisk in the heavy cream until smooth. Stir in the milk, sea salt, and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour in some of the hot caramel mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until completely cool, at least 2 hours or overnight.
Churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.
