Ingredients:

- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 6 egg yolks
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Serves: 6

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure to use a heavy-bottomed saucepan when making the caramel to prevent burning.
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the caramel reaches the correct temperature.
- Chill the ice cream mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before churning.

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.
2. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Do not stir the mixture at this point.
3. Continue to cook the mixture until it turns a deep amber color, about 10-12 minutes.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and slowly whisk in the heavy cream. Be careful as the mixture will bubble up.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and salt until light and frothy.
6. Slowly pour the caramel mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly.
7. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
8. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
9. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl.
10. Stir in the whole milk and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
11. Churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
12. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
