Instructions
Make caramel: Melt the butter with the brown sugar in a saucepan until bubbly.
Pour in the milk and cream (careful, it may steam!). Heat until the caramel dissolves into the liquid. Add salt and vanilla.
Whisk the egg yolks with the granulated sugar until pale. Drizzle a ladle of hot milk mixture into the eggs (tempering), stir, then pour everything back into the pot.
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (approx 180°F/82°C). It's ready when it coats the back of a wooden spoon. Do not boil!
Strain and cool completely (ideally overnight in the fridge).
Churn the ice cream in a machine. When done, fill the cones and freeze until hard.
Melt the coating chocolate, dip the tops of the cones, and roll in almonds.
