A rich and creamy no-churn salted caramel ice cream recipe that requires no ice cream maker and uses simple pantry ingredients for an indulgent homemade dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons (85 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: flaky sea salt for sprinkling on top
  • Optional: chopped pecans or toasted almonds
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon bourbon or dark rum

Instructions

  1. Make the salted caramel sauce: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar, stirring constantly until it melts into a smooth amber liquid.
  2. Add 6 tablespoons (85 g) unsalted butter to the melted sugar and stir until fully melted.
  3. Slowly pour in ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream, stirring carefully as it bubbles up. Remove from heat and mix in 1 teaspoon sea salt and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Let cool to room temperature.
  4. Whip 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream in a large chilled bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
  5. In another bowl, mix the cooled salted caramel sauce with 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
  6. Fold the whipped cream gently into the caramel mixture using a spatula, keeping the mixture light and fluffy.
  7. Swirl in an additional ¼ cup (60 ml) caramel sauce for ribbons by gently folding a few times.
  8. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe loaf pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle flaky sea salt if desired.
  9. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  10. Before serving, let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes for easier scooping.

Notes

Use a heavy-bottomed pan and medium heat to avoid burning caramel. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream. Fold whipped cream gently to keep air in. Freeze covered to prevent freezer burn. Warm caramel gently if it thickens before mixing. For vegan option, substitute coconut cream and sweetened condensed coconut milk.
