ingredients

• Caramel Sauce

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 1⁄4 cups heavy cream
• 1⁄2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Vanilla Ice Cream Base

• 1 1⁄2 cups whipping cream
• 1 1⁄2 cups milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2⁄3 cup sugar

directions

1. For the caramel sauce:

2. Heat 1 cup of sugar in a large heavy skillet over medium heat.
3. Stir to sugar evenly.
4. Continue to stir until the sugar starts to melt; then cook, stirring occasionally until the melted sugar turns a dark amber color.
5. Add 1 1/4 cups cream (be warned, it will splatter); continue to cook, stirring until all the caramel has dissolved.
6. Pour caramel into a separate bowl, stir in 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla.
7. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

8. For the vanilla ice cream base:

9. Mix ice cream ingredients in a blender or food processor until sugar dissolves.
10. Keep cold until needed for ice-cream maker.
11. Pour ice cream mix into the ice cream maker with the room temperature salted caramel and follow your ice-cream maker's instructions for freezing. (I have a Cuisinart ICE-50BC- and I run it for about 65 minutes to get the consistency I like- even with freezing for a few hours after, it is still on the softer side.).
