My recipe for a salted caramel ice cream

Here is the recipe of a salted caramel ice cream that I used at my work for an official dinner, with great success... The recipe is said to be the one of Pierre Hermé, the french king of macaron making...

The caramel :

150 gr sugar

35 gr salted butter

50 ml heavy cream

The cream :

500 ml milk

100 ml heavy cream

5 egg yolks

70 gr sugar

Procedure :

Prepare an amber caramel... Off heat, add butter then heavy cream. If necessary, reheat to obtain a smooth texture. The caramel is added to the cream and milk after boiling. Then follow the usual procedure for the making of the crème anglaise.

The ice cream was a success from guests, kids to parents. In fact, the secret is in the choice of the salted butter... A very good butter will make the difference. For example, I used the famous A.O.C. Beurre Echiré
