Print Recipe

A rich and creamy no-churn ice cream featuring a luscious salted caramel swirl, perfect for homemade indulgence without an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon brown sugar (for homemade caramel sauce)
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons butter (for homemade caramel sauce)

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
  2. Pour 2 cups of cold heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl and beat on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes until soft peaks form.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine one 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk with 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and stir gently until blended.
  4. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a spatula, preserving the airiness.
  5. Pour half of the ice cream base into a freezer-safe container and spread evenly.
  6. Spoon about half (⅓ to ½ cup / 80-120 ml) of salted caramel sauce over the base and gently swirl with a knife or spatula.
  7. Pour the remaining ice cream mixture over the caramel swirl and add the rest of the caramel sauce on top, swirling lightly again.
  8. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top.
  9. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, until firm.
  10. Remove from freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly for easier scooping.

Notes

Use cold heavy cream for best whipping results. Be gentle when folding to preserve airiness. Swirl caramel lightly to create pretty streaks without blending fully. Cover tightly to prevent freezer burn. Warm caramel slightly if thickened before swirling. For dairy-free, substitute coconut cream and coconut milk-based condensed milk. Optional mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips can be folded in before freezing.
