Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps

  • 1
    In 2-quart saucepan, heat sugar over medium heat until sugar begins to melt. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved and becomes deep golden brown to amber in color. Remove from heat; gradually stir in 1 cup of the whipping cream (mixture will boil and splatter at first). Heat over low heat, stirring frequently, until any hardened sugar bits dissolve; remove from heat.
  • 2
    With whisk, stir in remaining 1 cup whipping cream, the milk, egg yolks, salt and vanilla until well mixed. Cook over medium heat just until mixture comes to a boil, stirring constantly (do not allow mixture to continue to boil or it will curdle). Immediately remove from heat.
  • 3
    Pour milk mixture into chilled bowl. Refrigerate uncovered 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally, until room temperature. At this point, mixture can be refrigerated up to 24 hours before completing recipe if desired.
  • 4
    Pour into 1-quart ice-cream freezer and freeze according to manufacturer's directions.
