Ingredients

  • 110 g (½ cup) white sugar
  • 125 ml (½ cup) thickened cream
  • 1 tbsp white (shiro) miso
  • vanilla ice cream, to serve
Chilling time: 15 minutes

Instructions

  1. Place the sugar and 2 tablespoons of water in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then simmer, tilting the pan occasionally for 6–8 minutes until the syrup becomes a dark but not burnt caramel.
  2. Remove from the heat and carefully add the cream (the mixture will splutter). Return to the heat and whisk in the miso paste until well combined. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes to thicken slightly. 
  3. Scoop the ice cream into serving bowls and drizzle with the salted miso caramel.
