Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces (1/2 cup) bourbon, optional
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt, plus extra for topping
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup vanilla bean ice cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1 cup whipped cream

Steps:

Pour 1/3 cup water and the bourbon into a medium saucepan and set over high heat. Carefully pour the sugar directly into the center so none of it splashes up the sides of the pot. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar starts to turn brown. Do not stir the pot. If you need to, gently swirl the pot to help melt all the sugar.
Once the sugar turns a rich, deep brown, remove the pan from the heat and carefully pour in the cream, taking care as it will splatter a little. Add the butter, salt, and vanilla. Swirl the pot until the butter dissolves completely and evenly into the caramel sauce-this makes it shiny and rich.
Drizzle a little of the caramel sauce into 2 tall milkshake glasses. Combine the ice cream, milk, and the remaining caramel sauce in a blender, reserving a little of the caramel for the topping. Blend until smooth and pour into the glasses. Top each with a little whipped cream, a pinch of sea salt, and a drizzle of the reserved salted caramel sauce.

Time 45m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ounces milk
Vanilla Bourbon Caramel Sauce, recipe follows
11 ounces premium vanilla ice cream
Freshly whipped cream, with bourbon (optional), for serving
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 vanilla bean, scraped
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup bourbon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch of sea salt

Steps:

Combine the milk and 1/3 cup of the Vanilla Bourbon Caramel Sauce in a blender and blend until combined. Add the ice cream and blend until smooth.
Drizzle some of the remaining caramel sauce into a glass in a decorative pattern. Pour in the milkshake, top with a dollop of whipped cream, and drizzle with more caramel sauce.
Put the cream in a small saucepan, add the vanilla pod and seeds and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat, cover and let steep while you make the caramel.
Combine the sugar and 1/4 cup cold water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; stir to combine. Cook, without stirring, until the sugar has turned a deep amber hue, 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove the vanilla pod from the cream and slowly whisk the warm cream and the bourbon into the caramel. Continue simmering the mixture until smooth, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter and salt, whisking until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and let cool for 10 minutes.
