Ingredients
Caramel Custard Base:
- 1 cup full cream
- 1 cup full cream milk
- 1 1/4 cups caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 egg yolks whisked
Peanut Caramel Sauce:
- 1 1/4 cups caster sugar
- 1/4 cup full cream
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Peanut Caramel Sauce:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, add the caster sugar. Shake the pan occasionally until the sugar dissolves and turns into a light caramel colour, about 5-7 minutes.
- Carefully add the full cream, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the caramel, stirring continuously until smooth and well combined.
- Remove the caramel sauce from heat and set it aside to cool.
Custard Base:
- In a saucepan, combine the full cream, full cream milk, and caster sugar. Warm the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a low simmer. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gently add the whisked egg yolks to the warm milk mixture, whisking continuously.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Do not boil.
- Remove the custard base from heat and allow it to cool.
- Combining Caramel and Custard:
- Once both the peanut caramel sauce and custard base have cooled, gently combine them in a clean bowl.
- Ice Cream Assembly:
- Pour the combined mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes or until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container.
- Drizzle extra peanut caramel sauce over the ice cream.
- Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours or until it's firm.
- Scoop and enjoy this sensational salted peanut caramel ice cream!
