To go along with the beef stroganoff we made this past weekend, we also thought it would be fun to make one of the ice cream recipes from Ad Hoc at Home for dessert. We decided on the Caramel Ice Cream recipe because it sounded interesting and actually pretty simple.
Here are the ingredients, a pretty basic ice cream collection of egg yolks, milk and cream, sugar, and salt:
First off, you make the caramel by putting the sugar in a pot with some water and bringing to a simmer. It doesn't look like much now:
But after a while it starts to look familiar!:
After adding and mixing in the cream and milk, you strain and place the mixture in an ice bath:
After cooling in the fridge for some time. We ran our ice cream through our Kitchen Aid mixer attachment, then we put it in the freezer to firm up before serving. When we tasted it we were shocked how rich it was, and decided to balance it with something else...in this case a brownie. Here's the finished product:
Verdict
Very tasty but also very rich. Anymore than a scoop and the flavor becomes a bit too much in my opinion. It did taste great with the brownie (just a mix, not the Ad Hoc recipe) though. We also thought this would go great with apple pie instead of the traditional vanilla.
