Enjoy the creamy, rich flavor of homemade vanilla ice cream swirled with a decadent caramel glaze. This recipe is ideal for a special occasion or a refreshing summer treat.

Ingredients

1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
Add a pinch of salt
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
5 egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1 cup whole milk
2 cups heavy cream

Time Needed

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes

Instructions

Heat the heavy cream, milk, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks until smooth.
Whisk constantly as you slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Do not bring to a boil.
Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water to make the caramel glaze.
Cook until the sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally.
Increase the heat to high and cook without stirring for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture turns amber in color.
Remove from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter.
Stir until completely smooth.
Allow the caramel to reach room temperature.
In an ice cream maker, churn the chilled ice cream mixture according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Fill a freezer-safe container halfway with ice cream and drizzle with the cooled caramel glaze.
Swirl the caramel into the ice cream with a knife.
Cover and place in the freezer for 4 hours or overnight.
