Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and kosher salt in a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
2
Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
3
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
4
While the ice cream is churning, melt 1/4 cup of caramel sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the caramel popcorn and stir until the popcorn is evenly coated with the caramel sauce.
5
Once the ice cream is almost fully churned, add the caramel-coated popcorn and continue to churn until the popcorn is fully incorporated.
6
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place the container in the freezer to harden for at least 2 hours before serving.
