A luscious, no-churn Salted Caramel Ice Cream recipe combining rich heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and swirls of decadent caramel sauce, finished with a touch of sea salt for perfect balance.

Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Base

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Flavoring

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Whip Cream: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on high speed to whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy base for the ice cream.
  2. Incorporate Condensed Milk and Salt: Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk and sea salt into the whipped cream, taking care to combine fully while preserving the whipped texture for a smooth and creamy mixture.
  3. Add Caramel Sauce: Carefully swirl the caramel sauce into the cream mixture, creating ribbons of caramel throughout without fully blending it in, which adds a delightful texture and flavor contrast.
  4. Transfer and Freeze: Pour the mixture evenly into a standard loaf pan, cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid, and place in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm and scoopable.
  5. Serve: Scoop the hardened ice cream into bowls and optionally garnish with additional caramel sauce for an extra touch of indulgence before enjoying.

Notes

  • For best results, use a chilled bowl and beaters to whip the cream to ensure a firmer peak.
  • The caramel sauce can be homemade or store-bought; use one with a rich, buttery flavor for depth.
  • If you prefer a stronger salted caramel taste, increase the sea salt slightly, but do so cautiously to avoid overpowering sweetness.
  • Store leftover ice cream covered in the freezer to prevent ice crystals from forming.
  • This recipe requires no ice cream machine, making it simple and accessible for all skill levels.
