I've been watching the TV series Person of Interested, and Finch's fiancée offers him an ice-cream cone, and tells him it's "salted caramel" and suddenly I'm thinking to myself,...you know, that sounds pretty good. Do they make such a thing?

Gotta be better than dill pickle ice cream.
Yes, someone actually made that. Catman tried it because they offered a free sample.
It was terrible.

I have tried several brands of salted caramel ice "cream"--all of them "plant-based" or vegan, since I have a dairy allergy. Here is one brand that is available at some Target stores:  Here's a Ben & Jerry's variety (also available from "selected" Targets) that is close to salted caramel, though not identical:  Of the two, I prefer the B & J, but be advised that it is quite sweet. I usually follow a serving of this treat with three or four mini-pretzels to counteract that sweetness. |

I have a normally not weird friend who likes vanilla ice cream with potato chips (regular plain) and a dill pickle ... (not slices) to be eaten with (not mixed in ! ). Have not ventured to actually try it my own self. |

Have not ventured to actually try it my own self. One of my exes used to crush up potato chips in his vanilla ice-cream so I'm guessing that was sort of a precursor to the salty-sweet thing. I'm thinking of stopping at the store tomorrow to scope out their options of salted caramel. I'm worried about the "too sweet' aspect though. I wonder what the difference in taste would be between non-dairy and dairy would be. -- I found the Ben & Jerry's brand. And Magnum has a Double Sea Salt & Caramel. Then I see some made with oat milk. Quite a few are made with chocolate as well. |

The short burst of saltiness within the sweetness of caramel as the vanilla ice cream sooths the palate is amazing.

I picked up some salted caramel ice-cream, and ended up just sprinkling extra salt on it, and that made all the difference. I liked it. Then it occurred to me: Why not just buy regular ol' caramel ice-cream and sprinkle salt on that? Wouldn't that amount to pretty much the same thing? lol |

Over the years, I've had vanilla ice creams that are "marbled" with caramel ... much like "marbled fudge." I can't recall precisely what brands, but it's fairly common. It's also delicious.
Caramel with sea-salt has become popular, lately. Ghirardelli, and other chocolate confectioners, have put out chocolate bars/squares/truffles, that are filled with it.
I love ice-cream, but don't eat it often. I'll look for this combination, the next time I shop for ice cream.

Not just salt, it has to be sea salt.
