Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooling time: 4 hours (ideally 6 hours)
Number of servings: 6-8

Ingredients:
- 250 ml liquid cream
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 250 ml milk
- 3 large eggs
- 150 g sugar (for the cream)
- 150 g sugar (for caramel)
- 100 ml milk (for caramel)

Step 1: Preparing the ice cream base
Start by beating the 3 eggs together with 150 g of sugar, using a mixer or whisk until the mixture becomes fluffy and pale yellow. It is essential to achieve an airy texture, as this will contribute to the creaminess of the ice cream.

Step 2: Thickening the mixture
Gradually add 250 ml of milk to the egg and sugar mixture, stirring constantly. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens. It is important not to let the mixture boil, as the eggs may curdle. Once you achieve a consistency similar to thick cream, set aside and let cool.

Step 3: Preparing the caramel
In another saucepan, add 150 g of sugar and let it melt over medium heat. Do not stir, but gently swirl the saucepan to help the sugar melt evenly. When you achieve a brown color, carefully add 100 ml of milk, as it will bubble. Continuing to stir, bring the mixture to a boil until the sugar completely dissolves in the milk. Let cool.

Step 4: Combining the ingredients
Once both mixtures have completely cooled, combine the egg cream with the caramel, mixing well to achieve a smooth consistency. This step is crucial to ensure a uniform and creamy ice cream.

Step 5: Whipping the cream
In a separate bowl, whip 250 ml of liquid cream until it becomes firm. Add the heavy cream and continue to whip until you achieve an airy texture. Here, the heavy cream contributes to the richness and creaminess of the ice cream.

Step 6: Final incorporation
Gently fold the egg and caramel mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula with light up-and-down motions. This will maintain the air in the cream, ensuring that the ice cream will be light and fluffy.

Step 7: Freezing the ice cream
Pour the obtained mixture into freezing containers and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Place them in the freezer for at least 4 hours. Every hour, take the ice cream out and gently stir with a fork to prevent ice crystals from forming. This step will ensure a velvety texture.

Serving suggestion: Once the ice cream is fully frozen, take it out of the freezer about 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Serve it in a bowl or on a cone, drizzled with caramel sauce or melted chocolate for an extra touch of flavor.

Possible variations: You can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt to the egg mixture to enhance the flavor. You can also try adding caramelized nuts or grated chocolate to the ice cream mixture for added texture and taste.

This caramel ice cream recipe is not only simple and quick, but also a true treat for the senses. Enjoy every spoonful and savor the moments spent with loved ones!
