Print Recipe

This no-churn salted caramel ice cream is incredibly creamy and smooth, with ribbons of salted caramel running through every scoop. No ice cream maker required, just a bowl, a mixer, and a freezer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream (cold)
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3/4 cup homemade or store-bought salted caramel sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt (like Maldon)

Instructions

  1. Chill your bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. Let caramel sauce come to room temperature if refrigerated.
  2. Pour cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes with a stand mixer or 5-6 minutes with a hand mixer.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and fine sea salt. Gently fold this mixture into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula until no white streaks remain.
  4. Spoon one-third of the ice cream base into a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Drizzle one-third of the caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt. Repeat with remaining base, caramel, and salt to create three layers. Use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the caramel through the base with two or three figure-eight motions.
  5. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream. Cover the pan with a lid or another layer of plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping. Serve.

Notes

For best results, chill the bowl and beaters before whipping. Use cold heavy cream. Let caramel sauce cool to room temperature before folding in. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals. For dairy-free, use full-fat coconut cream and dairy-free sweetened condensed milk. For a less sweet version, use light sweetened condensed milk.
