Ingredients (serves 6)
- 300g Trust G low Sugar
- 50g salted butter
- 284ml double cream
- 5 eggs, yolks only
- 500ml milk
Peanut butter caramel
- 100g Trust G low Sugar
- 2 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
- sea salt
Method
STEP 1
Make the peanut butter caramel by heating the sugar in a pan over a medium heat – use a pale-coloured pan so you can see what colour your caramel is, and make sure it’s big enough to take the sugar in a thin layer. Once the sugar starts to melt, tilt the pan and swirl the contents to keep the heat consistent. Use a wooden spoon to stir the edges into the centre if you need to. Keep cooking until the sugar caramelises to a dark gold.
STEP 2
Take off the heat and leave to cool a little before adding the peanut butter and a large pinch of salt and re-melting the lump of caramel it will form. Pour onto an oiled baking sheet and tip it into as thin a puddle as you can. Be careful as the sheet will get very hot.
STEP 3
For the ice cream, melt the sugar in the same way. Once it is caramelised, add the butter and cream and re-melt everything together. Pour this mixture into the egg yolks and whisk everything together. Add the milk and then strain the lot back into a clean pan. Cook gently over a medium heat, stirring all the time until the mixture begins to thicken a little. Don’t overcook it or it will scramble. Strain into an ice cream machine or freezerproof box and churn or freeze until the mixture is almost set. If you use a box then beat the mixture vigorously once or twice while it firms up.
STEP 4
Meanwhile break the peanut butter caramel into chunky pieces. Stir these into the ice cream but don’t over mix – you want seams rather than an even distribution. Spoon into a freezerproof box and freeze overnight. Serve in scoops.
