Step-by-step recipe for a Vanilla ice cream with salted caramel

Step 1

Pour water over the sugar in a pan and heat slowly – do not stir.

Step 2

When all the water evaporates and the caramel browns, we add butter and carefully stir.

Step 3

Pour the caramel onto baking paper and, before it sets, sprinkle its surface with a little salt (this must be done before it hardens so the salt can get inside).

Step 4

When the caramel cools, we break it into smaller pieces (as desired) and sprinkle it into Carte D'or Madagascar vanilla ice cream. Serve in a sundae glass.

Elevating Classic Vanilla: The Allure of Salted Caramel

Experience the exquisite harmony of Madagascar vanilla ice cream, specifically Carte D’or’s creamy rendition, beautifully complemented by the crunch of salted caramel. This pairing develops a compelling interplay of sweetness and a nuanced savory finish, creating a memorable flavor experience.

Who Will Savor This Treat?

This dessert is crafted for those who appreciate dynamic flavor contrasts. It appeals to both children and adults seeking classic tastes with a contemporary twist. It’s an excellent choice for home cooks who enjoy culinary exploration without committing extensive time.

Perfect Moments for a Sweet Indulgence

Elevate a summer garden gathering, a family dinner, or an intimate evening for two with this elegant dessert. It also serves as a sophisticated finale for a birthday celebration. Serve it solo in chic coupes, or pair it with warm apple pie or a rich chocolate cake for enhanced textural and flavor dimensions.

The Secret to Perfect Salted Caramel

The key to achieving an ideal salted caramel lies in the precise timing of salt addition. Sprinkle the salt just before the caramel sets; this allows the crystals to integrate into its structure, developing that distinctive, pronounced flavor. Remember, caramelizing sugar requires patience—avoid stirring during the heating process to prevent crystallization.

Creative Serving & Customization Ideas

Enhance the experience by serving the ice cream in crisp waffle bowls or garnishing with fresh mint for an aromatic touch. For a textural contrast, crumble the caramel into smaller pieces and swirl it directly into the ice cream, creating a marbled effect. To develop even greater flavor depth, consider incorporating a hint of vanilla or a pinch of cinnamon into the caramel itself.
