Buttered Popcorn Ice Cream With Fleur De Sel Caramel Sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 12 cup raw popcorn
- 1 12 cups heavy cream
- 2 12 cups whole milk
- 34 cup sugar
- 14 teaspoon table salt
- 12 teaspoon butter flavor extract
- 12 cup water
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 1 teaspoon fleur de sel or 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Prepare popcorn using oil, as directed in your popper, or place oil in a large pot with a lid.
- Add kernels and cover.
- Place over medium to medium-high heat.
- Shake occasionally to prevent burning.
- When popping slows to 3-5 seconds between pops, remove pot from burner.
- Allow to cool 1-2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring cream and milk to a simmer.
- Add the popcorn and simmer 10 minutes.
- Pass through a fine-mesh sieve or chinois.
- Add sugar, salt and extract and stir to dissolve.
- Cover tightly and refrigerate 3-4 hours.
- Pour base into ice cream freezer; freeze according to manufacturer instructions.
- Transfer to a container which has been chilled in the freezer.
- Place a layer of plastic wrap over the ice cream before covering tightly.
- Freeze until hard, 2-4 hours, before serving.
- For the sauce, place water and sugar in a medium-large saucepan over medium heat.
- When sugar is dissolved, turn the heat up to medium-high and simmer about 10 minutes, until it turns amber.
- Watch closely, as it can burn quickly.
- When sufficiently brown, turn heat down to medium-low and add cream; it will bubble up, so use a large enough pot to prevent spillovers.
- Off heat, stir in butter and salt.
- Serve over buttered popcorn ice cream.
