serves/makes:

ready in:
2-5 hrs

ingredients

2 cans (14 ounce size) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups sugar
4 cups half and half
2 cups whipping cream
4 eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

directions

Pour sweetened condensed milk into two 8-inch square baking dishes. Cover with aluminum foil. Place dishes in a larger shallow pan filled with hot water to depth of 1/4 inch.

Bake at 425 degrees F for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until condensed milk is thick and caramel colored (add hot water to pan as needed). Remove foil; let caramelized milk cool.

Combine sugar, half-and-half, and whipping cream in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Gradually stir about one-fourth of hot mixture into eggs; add to remaining hot mixture, stirring constantly.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Remove from heat, and stir in caramelized milk and vanilla. Let cool. Chill thoroughly.

Pour caramelized milk mixture into freezer can of a 1 1/2-gallon hand-turned or electric ice cream freezer; add milk, stirring well. Freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. Let ripen at least 1 hour.
