Indulge in the creamy richness of homemade caramel cashew ice cream. This delightful treat combines the smoothness of caramel with the crunchiness of cashews, creating a perfect harmony of flavors and textures.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup cashews, chopped
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce

Instructions:

In a saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat

Stir until sugar dissolves

Allow the mixture to boil without stirring until it turns a deep amber color, about 5-7 minutes

Remove from heat and slowly stir in the cream until smooth

Be cautious as it may splatter

Return the mixture to low heat if necessary to dissolve any hardened caramel

In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, vanilla extract, and salt

Combine the caramel mixture with the milk mixture and refrigerate until chilled

Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturers instructions

During the last few minutes of churning, add chopped cashews and drizzle in the caramel sauce

Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm, typically 4-6 hours
