Burnt Sugar Ice Cream - Tuesdays with Dorie

Burnt Sugar Ice Cream - Tuesdays with Dorie
Burnt Sugar Ice Cream

For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Becky of Project Domestication chose Burnt Sugar Ice Cream on page 432 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.

Burnt Sugar Ice Cream - Tuesdays with Dorie
You make a caramel by heating sugar and water until amber. Then you add in milk and cream and trap a huge mass of caramel on your whisk. You wonder if this is a disaster in the making. Then it smooths out like magic. Temper the mixture into eggs, put back on the stove and heat.

Refrigerate to cool down, then whiz in the ice cream maker. Whoo hoo! Ice cream delight!

Burnt Sugar Ice Cream - Tuesdays with Dorie
This glass is super small...the spoon is there for scale.

Thanks Becky for letting me dig out my ice cream maker! Be sure to check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers!

    You are right...I thought I had a disaster when it seized up....but then suddenly it unseizes...it should be called Magic Burnt Sugar Ice Cream.

    the older i get, the less i can handle eating a lot of ice cream. i just need someone to make some of this for me so i can have a taste. maybe two tastes.

    I have been restraining myself from buying Dorie's book, telling myself I have plenty of cookbooks to work with at the moment. Seeing this recipe has pushed me over the edge - I have just ordered Dorie's book from Amazon! Can't wait til it arrives...

    Wow, the color of your ice cream is so dark, bet it had lots of caramel flavor! Love that cute little glass :)

    My caramel never seized, so I thought for sure I'd screwed up. Your little scoops of ice cream look delicious!

    Wow, your burnt sugar ice cream looks awesome! That's the color I imagined my ice cream would look like... maybe next time I'll burn the sugar just a bit more!
    I saw your cousin Linda at lunch last weekend and I'm such a dummy - I totally forgot to mention that I 'met' you! We're planning to get together for a UCLA football game but knowing me, by the time that rolls around I'll forget again! Growing old sucks...

    You deserve a bigger dish for this on ;)

    OK, I'm taking lessons from you: next time let that caramel get reeeeaaallly dark. Liked the ice cream anyway, even if mine might have been just a tad wimpy.
