A quick and easy no-churn salted caramel ice cream that combines creamy texture with a sweet-salty caramel swirl, perfect for summer treats without the need for an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream (480 ml)
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 397 g)
  • 3/4 cup salted caramel sauce (180 ml)
  • Pinch of sea salt flakes
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans or walnuts (60 g)
  • Optional: 1/3 cup chocolate chips or chunks (55 g)
  • Optional: Coconut cream instead of heavy cream for dairy-free version

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Pour the heavy cream into the chilled bowl and beat on medium-high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract; stir gently to blend.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a spatula until smooth and uniform, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Pour half of the ice cream base into a prepared loaf pan.
  6. Spoon half of the salted caramel sauce over the base in dollops and swirl with a butter knife or skewer to create ribbons.
  7. Add the remaining ice cream base on top and repeat with the remaining caramel sauce, swirling again.
  8. If using, sprinkle nuts or chocolate chips between layers or on top.
  9. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes over the top.
  10. Cover the loaf pan tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  11. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften.

Notes

Chill the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Fold whipped cream gently into condensed milk to preserve airiness. Use a metal loaf pan to freeze faster and avoid icy texture. Let ice cream soften 5-10 minutes before scooping. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use vegan condensed milk and caramel sauce.
