creme brulee ice cream

ugh i hate my camera phone and i misplaced my camera. the color of this ice cream is somewhere between a light brown and a bright orange. i think this ice cream isn't as sugary as it seems even though there is a ton of sugar in it. it has a burnt aftertaste so it taste like the first bite of a creme brulee after u crack the sugar and stuff the spoon into your mouth.

2/3 cup Sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar (or more for taste)
1 cup Heavy Cream
1 1/2 cup Milk
4 each Egg Yolks
Pinch Salt
1/4 tsp Vanilla

Melt the sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium high heat until it turns a dark brown - I like to make mine as dark as possible with out turning black.
Meanwhile combine cream and milk in a saucepan and heat until mixture bubbles around the edge. When sugar has caramalized, remove from heat and slowly sitr in hot milk mixture. Place back on fire for a short while until caramel has completely dissolved.

Place egg yolks in a bowl, add salt and beat to combine. Temper eggs with some of the milk and then add to the remainder of the milk. Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly until the custard thickens lightly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Chill until completely chilled. use ice cream maker.
