Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade no-churn ice cream featuring a rich, creamy base swirled with warm, buttery salted caramel sauce for the perfect sweet and salty balance.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons (57 g) unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream (for caramel sauce)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Make the Salted Caramel Sauce (about 15 minutes): In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar. Stir constantly as the sugar melts and turns a deep amber color (about 5–7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in 4 tablespoons (57 g) unsalted butter until fully melted and smooth.
  2. Slowly pour in 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream while stirring vigorously (it will bubble up). Mix until silky and smooth. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Set aside to cool completely.
  3. Prepare the Ice Cream Base (10 minutes): In a large mixing bowl, pour 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream. Whip with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form (3 to 5 minutes).
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Gently fold this mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula, keeping the airiness intact.
  5. Combine and Swirl (5 minutes): Pour half of the ice cream base into a freezer-safe container. Spoon half of the cooled salted caramel sauce over the base. Repeat layers with the remaining ice cream base and caramel. Gently swirl the caramel through the ice cream base with a butter knife or skewer to create a marbled effect.
  6. Freeze: Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.

Notes

Chill your bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better results. Stir caramel constantly to avoid burning. Warm caramel slightly if too thick before swirling. Fold condensed milk gently into whipped cream to maintain fluffiness. Cover ice cream tightly to prevent ice crystals. Let ice cream sit 5 minutes at room temperature before scooping for easier serving.
