A simple and delicious no-churn ice cream recipe combining rich heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and luscious salted caramel sauce for a creamy, crowd-pleasing dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (475 ml) cold heavy cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) salted caramel sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky or coarse sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before starting.
  2. Pour 2 cups (475 ml) of cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the entire 14 oz (396 g) can of sweetened condensed milk to the whipped cream. Gently fold it in using a rubber spatula without stirring aggressively.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 3/4 cup (180 ml) salted caramel sauce. Fold carefully to create a marbled effect with pockets of caramel.
  5. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt over the mixture and fold lightly to distribute evenly.
  6. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Optionally, drizzle an extra 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce on top and gently swirl with a knife.
  7. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight until firm and scoopable.
  8. Remove from the freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Use an ice cream scoop dipped in warm water for clean scoops.

Notes

Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Fold ingredients gently to maintain airiness. Use quality caramel sauce for best flavor. Freeze in a shallow container to reduce ice crystals. Let ice cream soften 5-10 minutes before scooping. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream and use dairy-free sweetened condensed milk.
