Caramel Macchiato Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 3/4 cup caramel dessert sauce

Directions

Whisk together milk, instant coffee granules, sugar, and salt in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream, then cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours.

Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions until it reaches “soft-serve” consistency. Transfer half of the ice cream to a one- or two-quart lidded plastic container. Pour half of the caramel sauce over the top, then repeat the layers with the remaining ice cream and caramel. Swirl the caramel into the ice cream using a chopstick or knife. Cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. For best results, ice cream should ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight.
