Burnt Sugar Custard Ice Cream
A lightened take on burnt sugar custard ice cream, where deeply caramelized sugar is dissolved into skim milk and set into a thickened custard base before being lifted with a measure of whipped cream for a scoopable, no-churn texture, all without a conventional ice cream machine.

Instructions
1
Melt the sugar in a dry saucepan over medium heat, swirling (not stirring) until it turns a dark amber, almost-burnt caramel, about 4-5 minutes.
2
Carefully pour in the warmed skim milk in a thin stream, whisking constantly as it bubbles and seizes, then stir over low heat until the caramel fully dissolves back into the milk.
3
Whisk the egg yolk with the cornstarch slurry in a bowl, then temper by pouring in a little of the hot caramel-milk while whisking.
4
Return everything to the pan and cook gently over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3-4 minutes. Do not boil.
5
Strain the custard through a sieve into a bowl, stir in the vanilla extract and salt, and chill in the fridge until completely cold, about 1 hour.
6
Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and fold gently into the cooled custard until no streaks remain.
7
Pour into a small freezer-safe tub, cover, and freeze for at least 4 hours, until firm but scoopable.
8
Scoop into two portions of 2 scoops each to serve.
