A quick and easy no-churn ice cream recipe featuring a creamy base swirled with rich salted caramel sauce for a perfect balance of sweet and salty indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) cold heavy cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) salted caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: ¼ cup (30 g) chopped toasted pecans or walnuts
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons (30 g) mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Pour cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl and whip with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract; stir gently to blend.
  4. Fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whipped cream gently to maintain airy texture.
  5. Pour half of the ice cream base into a freezer-safe container.
  6. Drizzle half of the salted caramel sauce over the base in thin ribbons.
  7. Use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the caramel into the ice cream base to create marbled streaks without overmixing.
  8. Pour the remaining ice cream base over the swirled layer.
  9. Drizzle the remaining salted caramel on top and swirl lightly again.
  10. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top to enhance the salted caramel flavor.
  11. Cover the container tightly with plastic wrap or an airtight lid and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  12. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
  13. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy.

Notes

Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Fold whipped cream gently into condensed milk to keep texture airy. Swirl caramel lightly to create distinct pockets of flavor. Use airtight container to prevent ice crystals. Let ice cream soften 5-10 minutes before scooping. Optional add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips can be folded in after swirling caramel but before freezing.
