Pour the mixture back into the pan and simmer over a medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and turns creamy. Pour the mixture through a sieve into a stainless steel bowl. Pour in the cream, mix well. Cover and chill the ice cream mixture for 8 hrs. or overnight.

   Melt the sugar in a wide pan without stirring. Reduce the heat and simmer, swirling the pan occasionally until a light brown caramel has formed.

Carefully fold the caramel into the ice cream, cover and freeze for approx. 3 hrs.
