Print Recipe

A simple and indulgent no-churn ice cream recipe featuring a creamy base swirled with rich salted caramel. Perfect for homemade dessert without an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons (85 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt (or regular sea salt)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water (for caramel)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water. Stir gently just to combine and cook without stirring until the mixture turns a deep amber color, about 8–10 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and carefully whisk in 6 tablespoons unsalted butter until smooth. The mixture will bubble vigorously.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt to the caramel. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Using an electric mixer, whip 2 cups heavy cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form, about 3–5 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, stir 1 can sweetened condensed milk with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture, keeping it airy.
  7. Pour half of the salted caramel into the ice cream base and gently fold it in with a few swirls.
  8. Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or freezer-safe container, dollop the remaining caramel on top, and use a knife or skewer to create swirls without mixing it all in.
  9. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  10. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping to soften slightly.

Notes

Watch the caramel closely as it can burn quickly. Fold the caramel gently to keep the swirl effect. Use a metal pan and place on the bottom shelf of the freezer to speed freezing. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk and use vegan sweetened condensed milk and coconut sugar for caramel.
