Four Cousins have recently launched two new products and invited me, together with 7 other bloggers to create creamgenius recipes. I decided to use the Four Cousins Marula Fruit Cream to make an ice cream. I wanted to add a twist to the ice cream, and introduce a salty element to the sweet liqueur, and so I decided to make a salted caramel ice cream. This recipe has totally blown me away. I love the texture of the ice cream and the taste is sensational. I am sorry you cannot grab a spoon and see for yourself by dipping into the screen. The only way around this is to make it yourself. Don’t worry if you cannot get hold of Marula Cream where you live, this ice cream will work perfectly well with any cream based liqueur.
What cream liqueur is local to where you live?
Salted Caramel Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 250 mls milk
- 250 mls cream
- 5 egg yolks
- 80 g fructose
- 150 mls Marula Fruit Cream
- 100 g salted caramel
Method
- Place the milk and the cream into a sauce pan and bring up to blood temperature over a medium heat
- Whisk the egg yolks and fructose until at the ribbon stage
- Pour half of the milk mixture into the eggs while whisking all the time
- Pour the mixture into the milk and stir with a wooden spoon until a custard starts to form
- As soon as you can draw a line through the custard on the back of the wooden spoon strain the liquid into a jug
- Mix in the Marula Fruit Cream and place in the fridge overnight
- Give the mixture a good stir before churning in your ice cream churner until thick
- Stir in the salted caramel and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours before serving

Ooh I need to make this! In England we drink Baileys and in Spain it’s Crema de Orujo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orujo – all very delicious!
I love Baileys and if we ever get to Spain I will look out for Crema de Orujo as it looks interesting 🙂
That looks gorgeous!
I would love some right now. Well done!
Have a great holiday.
Thank you so much!
Have fun in Italy!
Thank you Kiran 🙂
I do love the combination of sweet and salty, Tandy, so I’ll be trying this one for sure!
I am going to make more this weekend if I get a chance 🙂
I love salted caramel. I’ve never heard of Marula, though – what fruits does it have in it?
Marula is a berry from the Marula tree, native to South Africa 🙂
You keep coming up with all these delicious ice creams. One of these days, I’m going to have to buy a machine.
You will not regret it!
I am definitely going to make this salted caramel ice cream, Tandy – AND to make it even easier for me, my nextdoor neighbour is the producer of a well-known brand of liqueurs under which, of course, also a very popular buchu liqueur, and I always have a few different bottles of cream in my cupboard!!
One finds her liqueurs all over in the Western Cape and other regions in the RSA, as well as at craft markets and farm stalls.
P.S. Just a question to you – I do not have an ice cream machine; does that mean that I’ll have to skip this recipe, or is there another way in which I can make it?
Hi Isobel, thank you for the comment and the visit. I will keep an eye out for the buchu liqueur. You can still make the recipe, even without the ice cream maker. Place the custard into a large container and put that into your freezer. Every hour take it out and give it a gentle whisking. Do this about 4 times to make sure ice crystals don’t form. It won’t be as thick as mine but it will still taste great 🙂
