Recipe Summary
- Prep Time: 20 minutes + 2 hours chilling
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 2 hours 35 minutes
- Servings: 6
- Skill Level: Intermediate
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 5 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/3 cup Crown Royal whiskey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Caramel drizzle and fresh mint sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and sea salt. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour a small amount of the hot cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.
- Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and stir in the salted caramel sauce, Crown Royal whiskey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.
- Once chilled, pour the custard into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2 hours or until firm.
- To serve, scoop the ice cream into bowls, drizzle with extra caramel sauce, and garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
Helpful Tips
If you’re new to making ice cream, make sure to temper the egg yolks slowly to prevent them from curdling. For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the Crown Royal and increase the salted caramel sauce to 3/4 cup for added flavor.
