Salted Caramel Ice Cream for more!

I was watching FoodTV tonight while working out at the gym.  I realize the irony of this.  Still, I choose the elliptical machine right in front of the big screen.  It’s Guy Fieri, Triple D, highlighting ice cream.  Let’s face it, I really only work out as a means to eat my next meal guilt free.  300 calories burned doesn’t come close to my next meal – but I did something! 

I’m watching gigantic bowls filled with every flavor you can imagine (sweet potato? THAT I have to try!)  BINGO –inspiration to share my all-time favorite homemade ice cream recipe. The salted caramel thing has been overdone.  One could say its run its course.  You won’t care.

Nothing changes in this recipe – good as is.  If you freeze the custard without an ice cream maker, which some of you will be tempted to do, it works out okay but ends up a little more like a slushy than the creamy stuff.  Ice cream maker is best and serve it right out of the freezer bowl.  The photo shows little ginger cookies and those are a great idea along side.
