Directions

Make the burnt caramel: Combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of the hot water in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Remove the skillet from heat and carefully stir in the remaining 3/4 cup of hot water.

Allow the caramel mixture to cool to room temperature and set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until they are thick and lemon-colored.

Gradually beat the confectioners' sugar into the egg mixture.
-
Stir in the heavy cream, half-and-half, whipping cream, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean seeds.
-
Stir the cooled caramel mixture into the cream base.
-
Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator until cold.

Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.
