Preparation Steps
1
In a saucepan over medium heat, caramelize the sugar until it turns a golden brown color. Be careful not to burn it.
2
Add the butter and stir until completely melted into the caramel. Then, carefully pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring constantly to prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually whisk in a small amount of the warm caramel milk mixture to temper the eggs.
4
Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
5
Remove from the heat, add the sea salt and vanilla extract, and stir well to combine. Let the mixture cool completely to room temperature.
6
Pour the mixture 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 during the freezing process.
7
Leave in the freezer for at least 4-5 hours to achieve the desired consistency. Let stand at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
