A rich and creamy no-churn ice cream featuring homemade salted caramel swirls, perfect for an easy homemade dessert without an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons (25 g) brown sugar
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon (15 ml) light corn syrup

Instructions

  1. Make the caramel sauce: In a heavy saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water over medium heat. Stir gently until sugar dissolves, then stop stirring. Let simmer, swirling occasionally, until sugar turns deep amber (8-10 minutes).
  2. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a chilled large bowl, beat 2 cups heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (3-4 minutes).
  4. In another bowl, mix 1 can sweetened condensed milk with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gently fold the condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream until combined. Pour half of the cooled caramel into the mixture and swirl lightly for a marbled effect. Reserve the rest for layering.
  6. Pour half of the ice cream base into a loaf pan or airtight container. Drizzle some of the remaining caramel sauce over it. Top with the remaining ice cream base and swirl the rest of the caramel on top. Use a knife or skewer to create caramel ribbons.
  7. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  8. Remove from freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Scoop and enjoy.

Notes

Use a clean pan to avoid burning caramel. Do not stir caramel once sugar dissolves; swirl gently instead. Watch caramel color closely to avoid burning. Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Fold ingredients gently to keep ice cream light and fluffy. Warm hardened caramel gently before folding in. Strain caramel for extra smoothness.
