For the Salted Caramel Sauce:

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 6 TBS butter (softened and cut into 6 pieces)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

For the Salted Caramel Sauce:

  • Measure out all the ingredients for your salted caramel sauce and set them aside. Add your white sugar to a medium sauce pan and heat over medium high heat.
  • Stir constantly with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Sugar will form into little clumps and then eventually into an amber colored liquid. Keep stirring.
  • Once the sugar is melted add in your butter pieces. Stir them into the caramel until they are completely melted.
  • Slowly pour in your heavy cream. Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute while stirring.
  • Remove from heat and pour in your salt and vanilla.
  • Divide your caramel into 2 and set half aside and put half in the fridge for later.

For the Custard:

  • In a large sauce pan, combine your heavy cream, milk, sugar, salt and vanilla. Heat over medium high until your mixture starts to bubble.
  • In a large bowl, whisk your egg yolks.
  • Slowly pour 1/2 cup of your cream mixture into your egg yolks while whisking vigorously. Pour another 1 cup of your cream mixture, 1/2 cup at a time while whisking the whole time.
  • Pour the egg mixture back into the sauce pan with the remaining cream mixture and continue to heat for about 5 minutes until the mixture is thickened a bit.
  • Pour back into the bowl and pour your set aside half of the caramel into the mixture and stir in completely.
  • Put bowl into an ice bath and allow to set for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Toast your pecans in a saute pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring the whole time.
  • Cover bowl and place it in the fridge for about 2 hours, up to overnight.
  • Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker along with your pecans and allow to run according to manufactures instructions (about 30 minutes).
  • Pour about 1/3 of your custard into a 9x5 loaf pan. Drizzle a third of your caramel sauce. Repeat with another third of the ice cream, a third of the caramel sauce and then the last ice cream and the remaining caramel.
  • Cover and transfer to the freezer to freeze solid.

Frosting and Dips

Homemade Milk Jam {Dulce de Leche}

This Homemade Milk Jam (Dulce de Leche) is DELICIOUS. Thick, creamy, and utterly perfect - and made with only ONE ingredient!
Prep Time5minutes 
Cook Time11hours 
Total Time11hours  5minutes 
Course: Candy, No Bake Desserts
Cuisine: Mexican
 
Servings: 4
Author: Hayley Parker, The Domestic Rebel

Ingredients

  • 2 (14-ounce cans) sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 4 oz mason jars

Instructions

  • Open up the cans of sweetened condensed milk and pour the contents evenly among the four mason jars. Seal the lids on all the jars.
  • Place the mason jars into a large slow cooker and cover completely with hot water, making sure there's at least an inch of water covering the tops of the mason jars. Cook on LOW for 10-11 hours (I cooked mine for 11 for deeper flavor/color).
  • CAREFULLY remove the jars with tongs, as they will be scalding hot. Allow to cool and dry on a dish towel, about 2 hours. Rust may have formed on the tops of the mason jars during their bath; simply wipe it off. Store milk jam in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

The Best Caramel Dip

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 3/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  2. Add the brown sugar, corn syrup, and sweetened condensed milk, stirring to combine.

COOKIECRAZIE GLAZE ICING (VEGAN)

1 lb (3-3/4 cups) powdered sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
approx 1/4 cup water
Mix all ingredients together on lowest mixer setting. Mix well for at least one minute.
Notes:
  • This recipe covers approximately 20-25 medium cookies.
  • Flavorings can be added before mixing up the glaze. I use 1/4 tsp almond extract and 1/8 tsp butter flavoring to this recipe. This is purely up to your personal preference.
  • I highly recommend adding Americolor Bright White Gel since without it, the icing is very translucent. I add it to all my glaze to intensify the colors.
  • Be sure to keep your mixer set on low setting to prevent excessive bubbles.
  • With no perishable ingredients, glaze can be kept 1-2 weeks at room temperature.
Royal Icing 101
Yield: Icing for 9-10 dozen cookies
My favorite royal icing recipe.
Ingredients
  •  4lbs {two bags} confectioner’s sugar
  •  3/4 c. meringue powder
  •  1 1/3-1 1/2 c. warm water
  •  2-4 tbsp. oil-free extract or flavoring
Instructions
  1. Add the dry ingredients first. Use your mixer’s whisk attachment to incorporate the sugar and meringue powder.
  2. Add the extract to the water and slowly add it to the dry ingredients while mixing. At first the icing will be very liquid-like.
  3. Continue to mix it at medium-high speed until it is fluffy and stiff peaks form, about 7-10 minutes. Mixing times are approximate, keep your eye it icing and stop mixing as soon as it becomes stiff. Over mixing and oil-containing extracts can keep the icing from setting up, so keep this in mind as you work.
Notes
Royal icing will keep at least a month. I prefer refrigerating it, but it can also be left at room temperature.

Pirates Booty Caramel Corn Puffs {recipe}

INGREDIENTS:

  • 8-10 oz. Pirate’s Booty (the brand pictured is all my grocery store had, but I actually prefer this brand of puffed corn instead- it makes a HUGE difference!)
  • 1/2 C. butter
  • 1/2 C. light corn syrup
  • 1 C. brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. baking soda

DIRECTIONS:

1. Combine butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup in a 2 quart sauce pan. Cook on medium heat until it has all melted and begins to bubble. Do not overcook the mixture or your caramel will be REALLY hard.
2. Add the baking soda to the pot. It will make the bubble up a lot and become frothy, it also gives it a nice caramel color. Stir until combined and remove from heat.
3. Pour caramel over the Corn Puffs (in a large bowl). Use a rubber spatula to fold the caramel into the Corn Puffs.

 4. The recipe calls for you to bake your caramel corn puffs, which will make it a little crispier and less sticky. But honestly, you totally don’t have to. You can let it cool and eat it soft and chewy if you’d like. I personally like it baked and crispy but my husband likes it chewy. Either way is delicious. 
6. If you choose the crispier method, spread the Pirate’s Booty out on a cookie sheet and bake at 250 F. for about 20 minutes. Make sure you stir the mixture up every few minutes. Once it’s baked and cooled, break it into bit sized pieces.
