Ice Cream With Caramel Brioche Croutons Recipes

ICE CREAM WITH CARAMEL BRIOCHE CROUTONS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the butter, sugar, and water. Stir until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes.
• Allow sugar mixture to boil, and caramelize until the syrup is a medium amber color, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the cubes of brioche a handful at a time, and stir to coat. When all croutons are coated, transfer to prepared baking sheet. Quickly spread croutons so they are not touching. Let cool. To serve, fill four serving dishes with ice cream; garnish with caramel croutons.

SALTED CARAMEL ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium pot over medium heat, melt 3/4 cup sugar with 3 tablespoons water, swirling skillet frequently, until sugar turns mahogany brown in color (it should be almost but not quite black).
• Add heavy cream, milk, remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the salt; simmer mixture until caramel melts and cream mixture is completely smooth. Remove pot from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk yolks. Whisking constantly, slowly whisk about a third of the hot cream into the yolks, then whisk the yolk mixture back into the pot with the cream.
• Return pot to medium-low heat and gently cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer).
• Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cool mixture to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Sprinkle flaky sea salt into base during the last 2 minutes of churning. Serve directly from the machine for soft serve, or store in freezer until needed.
