Ingredients
  

  • 2 C Heavy Cream
  • 14 Oz Can of Sweetened Condensed Milk refrigerated for about an hour
  • 2-3 Tablespoons of Caramel Sauce homemade or store-bought
  • 3 Graham Crackers Crumbled
  • 1 Tbsp Sugar Cinnamon Mixture 3 Tsp Sugar + 1 Tsp Cinnamon to make mixture (extra Teaspoon in reserve for use at the end.
  • 25 Caramel ball pieces optional (baking aisle) (or cut a caramel square into 4 pieces just as big as a chocolate chip)
  • 2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

Method
 

  1. Using a stand mixer, and whisk attachment, place heavy cream in and mix on high speed for about 4-5 minutes.
  2. You need this heavy cream to form peaks, not stiff ones, just light ones.
  3. At about minute 4, stop mixer and see if peaks can form by using a spatula dipped in the cream and pulling up.
  4. If it is ready, add in the chilled condensed milk and again, mix.
  5. This time, you need the peaks to be firm and stiff.
  6. Mix on medium-high for about 7-8 minutes you will see the combination become thicker.
  7. Again, test it as I have indicated by stopping the mixer and pulling the spatula up to you.
  8. If the peaks are stiff, stop mixing.
  9. Now add vanilla, then mix.
  10. Next, graham cracker crumbles and caramel sauce.
  11. Last, cinnamon.
  12. Remove the bowl from the mixer.
  13. Fold in caramel pieces about 12.
  14. Then transfer ice cream mixture to a freezer-safe container.
  15. Top off with the remaining 12 caramels, as well as the teaspoon of cinnamon sugar and a few more crumbles of graham cracker.
  16. Freeze for 6 hours to firm.
  17. Serve.
  18. Keep Frozen if not using for up to six weeks.
