Salty Caramel Ice Cream

The combination of salt and caramel is proving to be a popular pairing.

Salt and ice cream have worked before and when you throw ice cream into the mix, deliciousness happens. This is why Praline’s is so proud to now be offering Salty Caramel ice cream. This is sweet cream with a salty caramel base. It’s as good as it sounds.

If you love ice and love to experiment in the kitchen, there is shortage of ice cream recipes featuring salt and caramel.

One recipe really brings out the butter. To make the caramel praline connection, you’re going to need ½ of granulated sugar and ¾ tablespoon of sea salt. These are the ingredients for the caramel praline mix.

For the ice cream mix, you’ll need 2 cups whole milk, 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar (hope you kept that granulated sugar handy), 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, ½ cup of sea salt, 1 cup heavy cream, 5 egg yolks and ¾ teaspoon on vanilla extract.

First, start with the caramel praline. Grab a saucepan and spread the half-cup of sugar out in an even layer. Now line a baking sheet with unflavored oil.

Set the oven for medium heat and heat the sugar until the edges begin to melt. Stir the liquefied sugar until all of the sugar is dissolved. Don’t worry about lumps. It will melt later. Continue to cooking until it smells like it’s just about to burn. Pour in the salt, then pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, then lift the sheet immediately. Set it aside to let it harden.

You’ll eventually place that ice cream mix into your ice cream maker. You should have delicious hardened caramel to add to the ice cream.

Of course, if you want to skip all this work, just head to Praline’s for some delicious Salty Caramel ice cream. It’s worth the trip.
