Caramel ice cream

Wet caramel ice cream is a delicious frozen dessert that combines the creamy smoothness of ice cream with the intense sweet and caramelized flavor of a wet caramel syrup integrated into its preparation. Unlike dry caramel or sauce, wet caramel is characterized by its more liquid and sticky texture, which provides an extra sensation of moisture and sweetness in every bite.

This ingredient originates from the classic combination of ice cream with caramel sauces that became popular in American cuisine, but today it is part of recipes all over the world, especially in Latin America, to make desserts like parfaits, milkshakes, cakes, and other sweets. Its use is ideal for adding flavor and texture to preparations that seek a balance between creaminess and deep sweetness.

Properties: Wet caramel ice cream is rich in sugars and fats due to its dairy components and caramel content, making it a source of quick energy. Furthermore, it provides calcium and some B vitamins from the milk. Due to its composition, it is an ingredient that should be consumed in moderation within a balanced diet.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: depending on the region, this ingredient may be known simply as ice cream with liquid caramel, wet dulce de leche ice cream (especially in countries of the Southern Cone where dulce de leche is very popular), or ice cream with caramel sauce. In some places, the expression ice cream with juicy caramel is also used to highlight its wet texture.
