Caramel Swirl Chocolate Chip Ice Cream with Waffles

I love caramel and I love chocolate chips.  Needless to say I also love ice cream.  So it is inevitable that one day I would try to combine the two.  And I did.  The result was deliciously rich.  Truly decadent, but who doesn't love decadent once in a while?  In fact, it was so decadent that we cleaned it in 2 days ....  Yes, it was that worth it.

You can buy the waffles.  I did, since I did not feel like making them too.  Or you can omit the waffles if you wish.  But waffles surely added an "European" air.  I still remember ice cream on waffles in Germany.  I do not like cream so I always got mine without cream.  But delicious just the same.

Recipe
Caramel Swirl Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole or 2% milk
3/4 cup sugar
pinch of salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
6 oz chocolate, roughly chopped
1 cup caramel sauce

Add sugar and salt to 1 cup of heavy cream.  Warm over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat and add the remaining cream and milk.  Add in vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator.
Churn for about 30 minutes.  About 5 minutes before the end of churning, gently fold in the caramel sauce and chocolate.  Freeze in the ice cream maker.
Enjoy!
