Salted Caramel Ice Cream
- 1 12 cups heavy cream
- 1 12 cups milk
- 6 egg yolks
- 34 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 cup dark caramel sauce
- 1 14 teaspoons fleur de sel or 1 14 teaspoons other high-quality sea salt
- In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the cream and milk, stirring occasionally, until steam rises from the surface.
- Remove from the heat.
- In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until blended.
- Slowly add the hot cream mixture, whisking constantly.
- Pour the mixture into the saucepan or into a double boiler and set over medium-low heat.
- Cook, stirring slowly and continuously with a wooden spatula or spoon, until the custard thickens and a finger drawn across the back of the spatula leaves a path, about 6 minutes; do not allow the custard to boil.
- Pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve set over a clean bowl and stir in the vanilla, caramel sauce and salt.
- Nestle the bowl in a larger one filled halfway with ice and water and cool the custard to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
- Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
- Transfer the custard to an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Transfer the ice cream to a chilled container, cover and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours or up to 3 days before serving.
- Makes about 1 quart.
