Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 5 large Egg yolks
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Caramel sauce
• 6 pieces Tim Tam biscuits

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat until tiny bubbles form around the edges. Do not let it boil.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until the mixture is pale and smooth.

Step 3

Gradually pour about half of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.

Step 4

Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon (approximately 170°F on a kitchen thermometer).

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and caramel sauce until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any cooked egg bits. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 7

Chop the Tim Tam biscuits into small chunks and set aside.

Step 8

Once the custard is completely chilled, churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the chopped Tim Tam biscuits.

Step 9

Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

Step 10

Serve scoops of the Tim Tam Caramel Ice Cream in bowls or cones and enjoy!
