Follow these steps
Day 1
caramel
- Combine sugar, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until it reaches 170°C–177°C (338°F to 350°F). Pour into a bowl and let cool slightly.
Ice Cream Base
- Add all ice cream ingredients to a saucepan. Make sure to weigh the caramel precisely – too much sugar can prevent the base from thickening. Heat while stirring to 85°C. Cool down in an ice bath, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Place your ice cream maker freezer bowl in the freezer overnight.
Day 2
Popcorn
- Melt the sugar in a saucepan until caramelized. Toss in the popcorn and coat evenly. Spread onto a silicone mat, let cool, then roughly chop.
Ice Cream
- Assemble the Assistent with the Ice Cream Maker. Pour the base into the ice cream maker and churn on medium speed until thickened (about 20 to 30 minutes). When nearly done, add about 1 dl (about ½ cup) of chopped caramelized popcorn and mix until evenly distributed.
Caramel Sauce
- Brown the butter in a saucepan. Add sugar and whisk until dissolved. Pour in the cream and simmer to your desired consistency with rosemary and lemon zest. Season with salt and lemon juice to taste.
