My love for sweet and salty together just recently became a true obsession. After having ice cream at Salt and Straw in Portland and liquid nitrogen ice cream at a la Minute in California, I figured out that ice cream should ALWAYS be eaten with salt. At first, I thought that was dumb as fuuu. But once I tried it, I was hooked. It’s a nice relief from all the sweet and makes the sweetness taste different in a good way. Man, it’s so good. And since salted caramel ice cream is my all time favorite, I decided that I needed to make a spin on the normal flavor. BOOM, welcome to the world raspberry caramel. Life is better with you in it, you sweet glob of joy.
Now let’s get down to business. Let’s talk about what’s important here. The Bachelorette. How do you guys feel about the ending? ABC sure played me for a fool. I would have bet my life savings on Nick being chosen and BOOM, ABC straight up b*tch slapped me. Probably to tell me I’m an idiot for betting my life savings on a show that has a 0.5% success rate. Anywho, I seriously had no idea that it would be Shawn. NONE. They made it seem like her and Nick were so happy together. They actually started to make me like Nick more, damn you ABC, you’re such a sly little bastard. I can’t decide how I feel. Do you think they’ll last or will the curse of Chris Harrison get them? Tell me your thoughts.
Man, having the Bachelor Pad season ready to go right after this season of the Bachelorette is total genius. I cannot wait.
My brain is going to turn to mush, isn’t it?
Speaking of mush, has anyone else seen those new KFC commercials? Do you think they were hoping to scare off customers? And children? Creepiest man ever. Stop KFC, knock it the sh*t off.
You guys. My new cookbook releases in 21 days!!! Did you know it takes 21 days to create a new habit? Is that how the saying goes? I don’t know, but I do know that 21 days is a super short amount of time that is about to fly by! That means I only have 21 days to plan my book tour outfits, eeeeeek! That means I need outfits for Denver, Atlanta, Boston, New York, Pittsburgh, and Chicago, and that’s just the first leg! There are still 8 more planned stops after that. Don’t forget to grab my cookbook now for 44% off AND check out my book tour stops to come visit me! I’ve been writing to all these imaginary people over the internet for 4 years now, I want to actually meet some of you!! And now go make this dessert for your Friday night treat, it’s seriously so delicious!
Salted Raspberry Caramel Ice Cream
- Yield: 1 1/2 cups 1x
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup fine maple sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄4 teaspoon coarse sea salt (extra for garnishing)
- 1 10 ounce bag of frozen raspberries
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Your choice of ice cream (I used Vanilla Coconut Bliss Ice Cream or you could make your own vanilla ice cream)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine cream, maple sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Stir until completely combined.
- Bring to a boil, then set a timer for 12 minutes, being sure not to let the mixture boil over. After 12 minutes, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 more minutes or until the caramel coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove from the heat, let cool.
- Place a small saucepan over medium heat. Add raspberries and honey. Mix for about 10 minutes until raspberries have completely broken down into a sauce. Place in a blender to puree then press puree through a fine mesh strainer using a spoon to get out all of the puree, leaving behind the seeds.
- Pour the raspberry puree into the caramel sauce, place over medium heat and mix to combine and soften.
- Pour raspberry caramel sauce over ice cream and top with coarse sea salt.

First off: I really don’t know how I feel about Kaitlyn and Shawn. Is it sad that my friends and I have started betting on how long the relationship last instead of who will actually win.
I think I should just stop gambling period.
Second off: Did anyone else notice that Nick’s family was in the front row of the After the Final Rose special? They watched Kaitlyn and Shawn flaunt their new relationship from up close. Who’s call was that?
Third off: This recipe…..its like you know me and my deepest desires.
That is all. Totally not creepy.
whaaaaat? that’s the strangest thing ever, why would his family even be there lol
I saw Nick’s family too! I recognized her little sister and I was like wuuuuuut first why would a ten year old be here in the first place. Weird. Stupid ABC. I personally loveeeeeeeeeeee Shawn and Kaitlyn. They just seem so much more real and natural together. I follow Kaitlyn on snapchat (like a 13 year old girl) and they are really cute. I knew it was Shawn a while back though since she accidentally snapped a picture of them in bed together like a month ago?? ABC hated her for that. But I thought it was funny. So maybe since I knew I was kinda like watching it through a different lens. Plus I never got over how Nick called out Andi last year. Phew. End rant.
what?!!? what a dummy lol, i’m surprised they didn’t fine her for that!
First of all your ice cream looks so yummy!
Second…OMG, I just told my daughter 2days ago that the new KFC guy is way off…creepy weird voice! LOL
Could I sub coconut sugar for maple sugar?
yes, but it may throw the color off since coconut sugar is darker
Hey Juli! I kind of wish she didn’t pick anyone honestly! Mostly because I plan to stalk Shawn and marry that man! Ooooweeee. Haha. But I have a question. Is the coconut milk just the thick stuff at the top of the can or it doesn’t matter?
full can of coconut milk, the whole thing!
We just saw the new KFC commercial last night (we live abroad, so don’t judge), and we immediately looked at each other and said, “What the…that’s so creepy! And a little racist-seeming.”
Ok… So, my family has been lovin on the crazy good “peanut butter” and jelly ice cream; and now this!!! You rock! Can’t wait to make it this weekend! Thank you!
I need to get into sweet/salty more often. This looks way too good and coconut milk ice cream is the best!
Just made this and my taste buds absolutely love you!! So delicious! Used coconut sugar and it came out much darker in color. Just looks more like carmel. Now to stop myself form going back for seconds… P.s pre ordered your cookbook!! After your meatloaf and this recipe, I CAN NOT WAIT for the rest! You rock!
yayyyyyy!! so glad you tried it and loved it as much as i did!!
Ohhhh the Bachelorette. This season was crazy. She made dumb mistakes and by telling Shawn he was the one, almost made him go crazy. I didn’t like him in the middle…he got super needy and insecure. And Nick got more like able. But then he would say something and then I would remember that he’s super snakelike. He seems so innocent but then he knows exactly how to get what he wants and play off his victim naive innocent status. I couldn’t see a future with him cuz I knew he would hurt her and never settle. Shawn made me like him again by the end, and I’m glad she chose him. I just want to see what his hair looks like undone. ????
