Preparation

  1. Make the caramel sauce. Add the first four ingredients to a small pot and whisk, turn heat to medium and bring to a low boil, continue whisking/stirring. Turn heat to low and continue cooking for about 3-5 minutes. The caramel should be bubbling up slowly but not rapidly boiling; we don’t want to burn it. When it thickly coats the back of a spoon it is ready. Turn the heat off.
  2. Make the nice cream. Combine all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until it just reaches soft serve consistency and no chunks of frozen fruit remain.
  3. Layer the nice cream, a drizzle of warm caramel, and chopped nuts in two small jars, or one large sundae dish to share. Save leftover caramel for dipping apples or topping oatmeal
