Homemade caramel can be healthier and more flavorful.

Combine heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.

Whisk until sugars are dissolved and mixture is smooth.

Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and add crackers, stirring to coat evenly.

Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and cook until lightly toasted, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Once chilled, pour the cream mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions.

During the last few minutes of churning, add the toasted crackers and caramel sauce.

Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and swirl in additional caramel sauce if desired.

Sprinkle sea salt on top before sealing the container.

Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm before serving.
