Print Recipe

A quick and easy no-churn ice cream recipe featuring a smooth, rich salted caramel flavor with a perfect balance of sweetness and sea salt. Made with simple ingredients and no ice cream maker required.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 oz / 396 g) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before starting.
  2. Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl and beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Avoid over-whipping.
  3. In a separate large bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gently fold about a third of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a rubber spatula. Then fold in the remaining whipped cream carefully until no white streaks remain.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the caramel sauce with the flaky sea salt. Adjust salt to taste.
  6. Pour half of the ice cream base into a loaf pan or airtight container. Dollop half the salted caramel mixture over the top and swirl gently with a knife or skewer. Repeat with the remaining base and caramel.
  7. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  8. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly.

Notes

Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream to prevent graininess. Fold whipped cream gently into condensed milk to keep the texture light and airy. Swirl caramel gently to create ribbons without overmixing. Freeze overnight for best texture. If caramel hardens in freezer, stir gently before serving. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free caramel sauce.
