This no-churn salted caramel ice cream is incredibly creamy and rich, made with just three main ingredients and no ice cream maker. It’s a foolproof dessert that will impress at any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 can (14 ounces / 397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 11 ounces (about 25-30) soft caramel candies
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Make the caramel swirl first. Unwrap all your caramel candies and place them in a small saucepan with 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Warm over low heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula. This takes about 5-7 minutes. Once smooth and fully melted, remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of flaky sea salt. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  2. Whip the heavy cream. Pour 2 cups of cold heavy cream into your chilled mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer on medium-high speed, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
  3. Combine the base. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into this mixture using a rubber spatula until no white streaks remain.
  4. Layer and swirl. Spoon about one-third of the ice cream base into your loaf pan. Drizzle about one-third of the cooled caramel sauce over the top. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl it through. Repeat with another layer of base, another drizzle of caramel, and swirl again. Finish with the remaining base and caramel.
  5. Add a final touch. Sprinkle a little extra flaky sea salt over the top.
  6. Freeze. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream. Place the loaf pan in the freezer and let it set for at least 6 hours, but overnight is better.
  7. Serve. When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Use a warm ice cream scoop for clean scoops.

Notes

Chill the bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best volume. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals. Let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping. For a dairy-free option, use full-fat coconut cream and dairy-free sweetened condensed milk.
