If you find it hard to make caramel from scratch use condensed milk.

“Try the dulce de leche version by simply boiling a can of condensed milk in a pot with water,” she says.

Remember, sugar and salt naturally make gelato and all frozen desserts take longer to freeze.

“Your salted caramel gelato may come out a bit soft,” she says. “If it does, don’t panic, just freeze it for a bit longer and if necessary increase slightly the milk dosage to balance the ratio between sugar and fat."
