Instructions

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Stir in brown sugar and salt. Whisk in 1 cup of the cream and the 3/4 cup milk.
Warm the brown sugar mixture. Pour the remaining 1 cup cream into a large bowl and set a large mesh strainer on top.
In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour the brown sugar mixture in to the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then pour the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spatula. Pour the mixture through the strainer and stir into the cream. Add the vanilla and stir until cool over an ice bath. Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator. (I like to make the mixture the night before.)
When ready to make ice cream, mix the chilled cream in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. During the last few minutes of churning, add the cut up Kit Kat candies.
