Print Recipe

A super creamy, no churn homemade ice cream featuring luscious salted caramel swirls. Easy to make with pantry staples and no ice cream maker required.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 oz / 396 g) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • About ¾ cup (200 ml) salted caramel sauce, homemade or store-bought
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)
  • Optional: chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts
  • Optional: chocolate chips or chunks
  • Optional dairy-free substitution: coconut cream instead of heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowls and beaters in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes before starting.
  2. Pour 2 cups (480 ml) of cold heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. In a separate large bowl, combine 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) of sweetened condensed milk with 1 ½ teaspoons of vanilla extract. Stir gently until fully blended.
  4. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a spatula, using gentle sweeping motions to keep the mixture airy and light.
  5. Transfer about two-thirds of the ice cream base into your freezer-safe container and smooth it out.
  6. Drizzle ½ cup (130 ml) of salted caramel sauce evenly over the base layer. Then spoon the remaining ice cream mixture on top, spreading gently.
  7. Use a butter knife or skewer to swirl the caramel through the ice cream gently, creating ribbons without overmixing.
  8. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top.
  9. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  10. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.

Notes

Chill bowls and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Do not overwhip cream to avoid grainy texture. Swirl caramel gently to keep ribbons. Freeze at least 6 hours for firm texture; overnight preferred. Let soften 5 minutes before serving. For thicker caramel, simmer gently before swirling. Dairy-free version possible using coconut cream and coconut condensed milk.
