02 - 100 g granulated sugar
03 - 360 ml heavy cream
04 - 2.5 ml vanilla extract
05 - Pinch fine salt
06 - 5 large egg yolks
07 - 360 ml whole milk

→ Oatmeal Crumble

08 - 0.5 g ground cinnamon
09 - 42 g unsalted butter, melted
10 - 45 g all-purpose flour
11 - 45 g old-fashioned oats
12 - 53 g light brown sugar

→ To Serve

13 - Whipped cream, optional
14 - Salted caramel sauce, for finishing

# Instructions:

01 - Dish up scoops and toss on whipped cream if ya want. Drizzle salted caramel sauce on top and enjoy.
02 - Run the cold custard through your ice cream maker just how it says to. Scoop out layers of churned ice cream and crumble into a freezer container, swapping each in turn. Freeze everything solid.
03 - Set oven at 190°C. Toss flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and your melted butter together in a bowl by hand. Smash into roomy pieces, none bigger than about 1.5 cm. Spread loose bits all over a 33 x 23 cm baking pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let them cool off totally.
04 - Pop the apple butter and your cooled custard in a blender, blitz till super smooth. Move it into a bowl, slap a cover on it, and stash it in the fridge until it's arctic cold—overnight’s best.
05 - Keep cooking that mix on medium, constantly stirring till it gets thick enough to fully blanket a spoon or spatula. Strain what’s in the pot into your bowl with waiting cream, chuck any thick bits left behind. Chill everything in an ice bath until it’s at room temp.
06 - Crack egg yolks into a bowl and whisk. Bit by bit, scoop 240 ml hot milk mix into the yolks, whisking non-stop to keep them smooth. Tip everything back into your saucepan.
07 - Pour 180 ml heavy cream into a big bowl and park a mesh strainer on top. The rest of the heavy cream, the whole milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla go into a medium pot over medium heat. Stir around until it’s all steamy and sugar’s gone.

# Notes:

01 - Letting the custard chill overnight helps it get extra creamy and brings out big flavor.
02 - Only pile on the oatmeal crumble after it’s totally cool so it keeps its crunch.
