Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the 1.50 cups of milk and 1/3 cup of heavy whipping cream.
- Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Do not let it boil.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the 6 egg yolks with 2/3 cup of sugar until the mixture is pale yellow and slightly thickened.
- Gradually add the hot milk mixture to the egg yolks, a little at a time, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture back into the saucepan.
- Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil or the eggs may curdle.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Stir in the 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated.
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature. You can speed this up by placing the saucepan in an ice bath.
- Once cooled, cover the mixture and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight. This helps the flavors to meld and also ensures it is thoroughly chilled for churning.
- In a small saucepan, melt the 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat.
- Add the 1 tbsp of maple syrup and stir continuously until the mixture starts to bubble and turn a golden brown color.
- Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Pour the chilled custard mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer half of the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container.
- Drizzle half of the caramel mixture over it in a zigzag pattern.
- Add the remaining ice cream on top, followed by the remaining caramel.
- Use a knife or a skewer to gently swirl the caramel through the ice cream, creating a marbled effect.
- Cover the container and freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- Scoop the caramel swirl ice cream into bowls or cones.
- Enjoy your homemade creamy delight!
Tips:
- Make sure to constantly whisk the egg yolks while adding the hot milk to prevent curdling.
- Chill the mixture thoroughly before churning to ensure a smooth texture.
- To make the caramel more pronounced, you can add a pinch of salt to the caramel swirl.
- Use an ice cream maker to achieve the best results, but if you don’t have one, you can freeze the mixture and stir it every 30 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.
- For extra texture, consider adding caramel bits or nuts.
With its rich, creamy base and swirls of luscious caramel, this caramel swirl ice cream is sure to become a favorite in your dessert repertoire. This homemade version allows you to enjoy an artisanal quality ice cream, made with love and simple ingredients. Follow the tips and enjoy this delightful treat with friends and family!
