Salted Caramel Ice-Cream recipe with Twix Mix

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Course Dessert
Servings 1 litre

Equipment

  • Ice cream maker

Ingredients
  

  • 375 ml whole milk
  • 7 egg yolks
  • 220 g white sugar
  • 4 tbsps water
  • 310 ml whipping cream
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 126 g pack Twix Mix or you could use Maltesers

Instructions
 

  • Pour the milk into a heavy-based saucepan and heat until just beginning to simmer.
  • Beat egg yolks until pale and fluffy, and thickened.
  • Slowly pour hot milk onto beaten eggs, still whisking. Set aside.
  • Combine sugar and water in a saucepan, and stir over a low heat until sugar has dissolved
  • Increase heat to medium-high, brush down any sugar crystals on the sides of the pan, and cook without stirring until the mix darkens and becomes a caramel syrup.
  • Remove from heat and pour in cream. Mix well.
  • Return mixture to a low heat and stir to dissolve any lumps of sugar. Add the egg mixture, then the salt, and stir constantly until it thickens, and coats the back of a wooden spoon.
  • Pour the mixture into a heatproof bowl, cool, then cover and chill until cold.
  • Once chilled, pour into the ice-cream maker, set to ice-cream setting, and churn.
  • As the mixture thickens, towards the end of the cycle, add the Twix Mix.

Notes

You could add pretty much any chewy chocolate chunks - or indeed fudge - to this recipe, depending on your preferences. My own is for a dash of Camp Coffee for a fabulous salted caramel coffee ice cream perfect for grown ups (or pretend Starbucks Frappuccinos!)
