Salted Caramel Ice Cream Recipe


Cotswold Fayre have provided this great summer treat recipe. A simple and delicious salted caramel ice cream recipe.

1 1/4 cups sugar, (to use in different steps of the recipe)
2 1/4 cups heavy cream, (again split between different steps)
1 - 1 1/2 teaspoon Maldon salt (or any flakey salt)
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk
3 large eggs

An ice cream maker

First of all you'll want to chill your machine down for around 18-24 hours or as per the instructions of your machine. If you have a fancy machine you may not need to do this step. It is important to note that a couple of the steps do take a few hours as they involve cooling down the mixture so you may want to make this around 24 hours before you intend to eat the ice cream - the wait is worth it though, really!

Get a heavy bottom large saucepan or a wide but deep ish frying pan (non stick is better as you won't want to scrape the bottom). Make sure the bottom is dry as you don't want water mixing with the sugar. 

Over a medium heat - melt the sugar. Stir with a fork to make sure it melts evenly. Swirl it around when it reaches the point where it is melting. When its done it should be a dark amber colour

Be careful as the next step will spatter a little. Mix in 1 1/4 cups of your cream, dissolve and mix it all together. Make sure it mix it well. Move this to a bowl to let it cool. At this point add in your salt and your vanilla and give it a good mix. Let the mixture cool down to room temperature. You don't want to let it get too cool as the mixture will get too gloopy.

While it is cooling, boil then simmmer the rest of the sugar and milk and cream. Make sure it doesn't over boil, and make sure it is mixed well.

In a seperate bowl whisk together your eggs. Pour in the milk mixture while still hot. Do this steadily and slowly and whisk it as you pour. Now move it back to the heat and cook until slightly thick (it should coat the back of a spoon). Check that it is 170°F  if you can (to ensure the egg is cooked through) but don't let it boil.

Use a sieve to filter the custard mixture through. Once the caramel from the first step is cool - add it all together.

Give it a little stir and let it cool in the fridge. You can stir it every so often, it should take around 3-6 hours. Once it is nice and cold, put it into the ice cream maker and follow the instructions. It should lighten in colour and go nice and soft. Freeze and chill in a container in the freezer. This should last for around a week or so (but you'll probably eat it a lot faster!)

This is a paid sponsored post!  I recently did eat some salted caramel ice cream so having this recipe might become dangerous!  :)

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Packing for your first ski trip

Pexels - CCO Licence So, you're gearing up for your first ski trip and the excitement is as thick as the snow you're about to conquer. But before you can show off those freshly learned pizza and French fry stops, you’ve got to pack.  Packing for a ski trip can feel like preparing for a chilly expedition to the North Pole, but fear not! With these nifty tips, you'll be ready to hit the slopes in style and comfort. 1. Layer Like a Lasagna Think of your ski outfit as a gourmet lasagna: each layer is crucial. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer (yes, that includes thermal underwear) to keep you dry and snug. Over that, layer a warm and breathable mid-layer—think fleece or a wool sweater that can handle the chill. Top it all off with a waterproof and windproof jacket and pants. Remember, it's all about layers that you can add or peel off because sweating while you ski is less fun than a snowball in the face. 2. Keep Those Fingers Cosy Cold hands can ruin a...
