The combination of sweet and salty makes this creamy caramel ice cream a unique taste experience. In summer, it really cools you down and is perfect as a refreshing dessert after a meal. With a few common ingredients and without an ice cream maker, you can make the salted ice cream with caramel at home. You can also refine it with chocolate pieces. You can find a detailed salted caramel ice cream recipe with the exact quantities and step-by-step instructions below.
Salted caramel ice cream with chocolate
You can refine this caramel ice cream with chocolate, just like the mint ice cream with fresh mint. Crunchy pieces of chocolate perfectly complement its salty taste. I have already tried this myself.
Use good quality milk or dark chocolate, just like for the zucchini brownies or the chocolate pear cake. You can simply take your favorite chocolate and chop it coarsely. Ready-made chocolate chips are also suitable.
You can then add the chocolate pieces to the salted ice cream with caramel, just like to the strawberry ice cream, when you take it out of the freezer for the last time to stir. The mixture is then no longer so runny so that the chocolate can be spread easily. Mix it carefully with the caramel ice cream and allow it to set completely.
Salt to taste
You can adjust the amount of salt in the recipe to suit your taste. If you only like it slightly salty, about 1/3 – 1/2 teaspoon of salt is enough. You can also add just a pinch of salt if you want an ordinary unsalted caramel ice cream.
Caramelize sugar
You should caramelize the sugar over a medium heat, similar for the apple caramel dessert cups or the Pokrovsky pryanik. Do not stir it, otherwise lumps could form.
Also, do not leave it unattended on the stove, as it can burn quickly. Reduce the heat if the caramel becomes too brown in some parts of the pan. Use a wooden spoon to carefully push the remaining sugar that has not yet dissolved towards the middle so that it caramelizes more quickly.
