(#104) Salted Caramel (with Scoop Sights!)

Lately I've been cooking up some collaborative creations with Katelyn of Scoop Sights. Dark Chocolate Olive Oil with Himalayan Sea Salt, Strawberry Amaretto, and Guinness Ice Cream were all fancy follow-ups to "100 Scoopsies."  I was feeling a bit wiped out from the project after it ended last month, and slacking a bit on creating new flavors. So when Katelyn asked if I wanted to get together to make some 'scream, I knew it was just what I needed! It's really keeping me going and I also just love working with her and admire her for all she contributes to the ice cream community. It's pretty sweet to have someone who shares your niche passion.

For this week's flavor, we made the "New Vanilla," aka Salted Caramel Ice Cream. This was one of my 100 flavors (#80) but I've been wanting to revisit and perfect this one for awhile now. I loved this version. The caramel flavor is unreal--soo rich (and deadly). 

(#80) SALTED CARAMEL: Scoopsies' 80th Flavor!

Salted Caramel: a flavor that has been slowly working its way up the ice cream charts.  It has become more popular in the past five years after Häagen-Dazs came out with their version of the flavor.  It should be a staple in every ice cream shop!
A new classic! This was the perfect flavor to transition the project into the home stretch! 80 flavors down (when did that happen!?) and 20 to go! 
Scoopsies' Salted Caramel Ice Cream is made with: heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, butter, and egg yolks. 

(#47) VANILLA BEAN WITH CARAMEL & PBUTTER SWIRLS & CHOCOLATE PRETZELS: "Take 5"

A co-worker recommended this flavor, based on the "Take 5" candy bar.  

Note: we would have a nicely staged photo had my parents decided not to eat the entire pint that I mistakenly left in their freezer.
