A rich and smooth homemade no-churn salted caramel ice cream recipe that is quick, easy, and perfect for any occasion. Made with simple ingredients and no ice cream machine required.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (14 oz / 395 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons (85 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
  • Optional: chocolate chips or swirls

Instructions

  1. Make the Salted Caramel Sauce (about 15 minutes): In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup (200 g) of granulated sugar, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until it turns a deep amber color, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat quickly.
  2. Add Butter and Salt: Stir in 6 tablespoons (85 g) unsalted butter until melted and combined. Then add 1 teaspoon of sea salt and mix well. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Whip the Cream: Using an electric mixer, whip 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form.
  4. Combine Condensed Milk and Vanilla: In a separate bowl, mix 1 can (14 oz / 395 g) sweetened condensed milk with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Fold Ingredients Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture in batches, then fold in the cooled salted caramel sauce, leaving some swirls if desired.
  6. Freeze: Pour the mixture into an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.

Notes

If caramel cools and hardens before folding, warm it slightly to soften. Watch caramel closely to avoid burning. Stop whipping cream at soft peaks to avoid graininess. Fold gently to keep airiness. Salt balance can be adjusted to taste. Can substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream for dairy-free version.
