pure decadence! caramel sea salt ice cream

salted caramel ice cream, originally uploaded by cabanagirl.

Ok you must try this one. First of all it is really fun to make caramel on the stove. Second: the sea salt really compliments the caramel. I saw an episode of "The Barefoot Contessa" and Ina made this fabulous recipe. Go to this link for the full recipe. It takes a while. You first want to make the creme Anglais base and cool it in the fridge. Then the caramel must also be somewhat cool. So plan ahead. Start it the day before you plan on freezing it. P.S. It does not freeze hard so chill your bowl and be prepared to eat it right away
Happy Ice Cream month!
