Preparation Steps
1
Chop the white chocolate into small pieces, spread them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake in a preheated oven at 250°F (120°C) for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to caramelize.
2
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until warm, but do not boil.
3
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until light and creamy.
4
Slowly pour a little of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
5
Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil!
6
Remove from heat, add the caramelized white chocolate, and stir until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and the vanilla extract.
7
Let the mixture cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
8
Pour the ice cream base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and stir every hour until it reaches a creamy consistency.
9
Once ready, freeze for another hour to firm up. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make it easier to scoop.
