Print Recipe

An easy, no-churn homemade salted caramel ice cream recipe that is creamy, indulgent, and perfect for any occasion. Made with simple pantry staples and no special equipment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup (120 ml) homemade salted caramel sauce (or store-bought)
  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: ¼ cup (30 g) chopped toasted pecans or walnuts
  • Optional: ¼ cup (45 g) chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Pour 2 cups (480 ml) of cold heavy cream into a mixing bowl. Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Gently fold in one 14 oz (396 g) can of sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract using a spatula, keeping the mixture light and airy.
  3. Add about ½ cup (120 ml) of salted caramel sauce in dollops and gently swirl with a spatula to create ribbons without fully mixing.
  4. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and smooth the top. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of flaky sea salt evenly over the surface.
  5. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results. For softer texture, freeze for 4 hours.
  6. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly.
  7. Optional: Fold in toasted nuts or chocolate chips after swirling the caramel but before freezing.

Notes

Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better results. Avoid overmixing after adding condensed milk to keep the texture light. Use a metal container to freeze faster and reduce ice crystals. Let ice cream soften 5 minutes before serving. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk and use dairy-free condensed milk.
