HEAT IN A POT:

• 3 cups HEAVY CREAM

• Seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean (or I have used 1 T. VANILLA BEAN PASTE INSTEAD)
  

Directions

Heat the cream, sugar, vanilla, and vanilla seeds in a small saucepan only until the sugar is dissolved. Cover, and chill overnight. Freeze the mixture in an ice cream freezer according to the manufacturer's directions. Spoon into a freezer container and allow to chill in the freezer for a few hours.

This time, I added 1 1/2 cups caramel to the ice cream in the maker at the end of its freezing time. Next time, I will freeze the vanilla first till it's firm and then swirl in the caramel!
