Scale
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 3/4 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine the sugar, butter and cream in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat. Simmer for 10-12 minutes*, stirring occasionally. Watch for the mixture to darken and thicken, becoming a dark amber color.
- Once it turns amber, stir in the milk and bring the mixture back up to a simmer, then simmer for 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt. Let it sit until room temperature.
- Pour the mixture into your ice pop mold, leaving 1/4-inch at the top for the mixture to expand as it freezes. Insert the sticks and freeze completely.
Recipe Notes:
*depending on your altitude, this may take a lot longer. It took me about 3 times this long. Just make sure you are occasionally stirring and keeping a watchful eye on the mixture.
