Brown Butter Ice Cream
I’m sorry, but I am going to have to throw it out there that there are very few things better than brown butter out there in this world. The smell fills up my whole house and makes me drool.
It is amazing in baked goods, and I am always trying to think of new ways to use it… And today, ice cream is that way!
It makes an unbelievably creamy, rich, and deeply flavored ice cream that will seriously wow you.
Brown Butter Ice Cream
8 Tbs butter
2 cups cream
1 cup milk
6 yolks
1 cup brown sugar
½ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
In a pan, melt the butter and continue cooking it over low heat until the butter browns.
Meanwhile, bring the cream and milk and vanilla to a simmer.
In a mixer whisk together the eggs, brown sugar and salt until fluffy.
Add the brown butter, a little bit at a time to the running mixer.
When they are combined, add the milk a little at a time until the whole mixture is frothy and smooth and well combined.
Return it to a pan and put back on the stove over medium-low heat.
Cook on low until it thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Pour into a bowl and refrigerate until completely cool or up to overnight.
Run the custard through an ice cream maker according to the manufacturers directions.
Put the ice cream in a container and let it freeze at least 4 hours until firm.
Scoop and Enjoy!

Be still, my heart. This sounds incredibly good.
I think I’m going to buy new (bigger) summer clothes this year 🙁
This is so delicious!!!
Oh my, that looks delicious. Thanks for the inspiration!
One question, do i have to run the custard through an ice cream maker or can i just stir it up and freeze it? i don´t have an ice cream maker so…:(
It will not be exactly the same texture, but you would certainly get a delicious frozen custard!
Oh, my! This recipe is nothing short of phenomenal! We made it this afternoon and it’s freezing right now, but I couldn’t help eating some straight away! I’ve never tasted anything like it. It’s the creamiest, dreamiest ice cream imaginable!
Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Your recipe’s sound great.
Did the same recipe but i folded in crumbled, candied bacon right after the mixture finished in the ice cream maker just cooked off some bacon(pork) that i covered lightly with light brown sugar, until it was fully cooked and caramelized.
