Brown Sugar Caramel Ice Cream

Ingredients
  

  • ½ c granulated sugar or cane sugar
  • ¼ c light or dark brown sugar
  • ½ c skim milk powder
  • 1 ⅔ c whole milk
  • 1 ⅔ c heavy cream
  • 1 t vanilla extract
  • 3 egg yolks

Instructions
 

  • Prepare an ice bath in a large heat proof bowl.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the sugars, milk powder and milk. Stir with a whisk until smooth. Make sure the milk powder is dissolved into the mixture and there are no lumps. Stir in the cream and whisk in over medium low heat.
  • Cook the mixture, stirring often with a rubber spatula over medium heat. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to prevent burning. Mix until 110°F, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Place the egg yolks in a medium bowl. While whisking, slowly pour in ½ cup of hot milk-cream mixture to temper the egg yolks. Continue to whisk until even in color.
  • Whisk the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the milk and cream.
  • Return the pan to the stove top over medium heat, continue cooking, stirring often until it reaches 165°F, 5-10 minutes. Another way to test if it's ready is if it coats the back of a spoon and if you run your finger through it, the milk stays separated.
  • Transfer the pan to the prepared ice bath. Let it cool for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour the ice cream base into a plastic container through a wire-mesh strainer. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
  • Transfer the cooled base to the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • After churning, place in a frozen plastic container and swirl in the caramel sauce with a knife. Pour the ice cream into a frozen container.
  • Serve immediately or place in freezer for a few hours or overnight before serving.
