Apple Cider Caramel Ice Cream Recipe – Step by Step Guide
Ingredients for Apple cider caramel:
- 57g or 1/4 cup fresh apple cider reduced from 2 cups fresh apple cider
- 113g or 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 300g or 1 1/2 cups brown sugar or muscovado sugar sugar can be reduced to 1 cup if you don’t want it overly sweet
- 1/2-1 teaspoon ground cinnamon depending on how strong you want it (can also use apple pie spices: nutmeg and allspice)
- 1 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Ice Cream Base:
- 480g or 2 cups heavy cream
- 240g or 1 cup whole milk
Method
- To start, lower the cider. Put the cider in a small pot and boil it on high for 30 to 45 minutes, or until it’s about ¼ of a cup.
- Add the butter, sugar, salt, and cinnamon after the caramel has shrunk. Stir it all together and let it boil.
- For 245 degrees, turn off the heat and add the heavy cream and milk.
- Sometimes the caramel will get hard and float to the top. To melt it back into the milk, put it back on the heat and mix it as it gets warmer.
- After you add the vanilla and whisk it in, set it aside to warm up.
- Put it in a jar that won’t let air in and put it in the fridge overnight to chill.
- Put the dish you want to store it in the freezer the next day to get it cold before you add the ice cream. It tends to set a bit on top when you whisk your base together. Then, freeze it according to the directions on your machine. Keep in the freezer in a jar that won’t let air in.
FAQ
What would this cider ice cream recipe taste good with?
I love it best with bits of white chocolate that has been caramelized. To add them, melt the chocolate and put it in after you’ve mixed the whole thing.
It tastes great with a spoon of apple cider caramel, even though this is made with a different kind of caramel.
As a bonus, this tastes great on its own or with pumpkin or apple pie, or with apple cider donuts. In fact, you can add this to any fall flavor and have a perfect dessert.
