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

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) salted caramel sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt flakes
  • Optional: 1/2 cup (60 g) chopped toasted pecans or walnuts
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon espresso powder

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 15 minutes before starting.
  2. Pour 2 cups (480 ml) of heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together the 14 oz (396 g) can of sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract until smooth. Add espresso powder here if using.
  4. Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture to lighten it. Then fold in the remaining whipped cream carefully to maintain the fluffy texture.
  5. Pour half of the ice cream base into your freezer-safe container. Dollop half of the salted caramel sauce (about 6 tablespoons / 90 ml) over the base, then swirl gently with a knife or skewer.
  6. Add the remaining ice cream base and caramel sauce, swirling again for a marbled effect. Sprinkle sea salt flakes over the top if desired.
  7. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  8. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easy scooping.

Notes

Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better texture. Fold whipped cream gently to keep air bubbles intact. Use a thick, high-quality salted caramel sauce for best flavor. Let ice cream sit at room temperature 5-10 minutes before scooping. Store leftovers in an airtight container with parchment paper on top to prevent ice crystals.
