A rich, creamy, and indulgent no-churn ice cream featuring homemade salted caramel sauce. Perfect for quick homemade dessert without an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz (397 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 6 tbsp (85 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream (for caramel sauce)
  • 1 tsp sea salt, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the Salted Caramel Sauce (15 minutes): In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula until smooth and amber colored.
  2. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the unsalted butter until fully melted and combined. The mixture will bubble vigorously.
  3. Slowly pour in the 1/2 cup heavy cream in a steady stream while stirring. Stir in sea salt and set aside to cool for about 20 minutes.
  4. Whip the 2 cups heavy cream in a chilled large bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form (about 5 minutes).
  5. In another bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk with vanilla extract and the cooled caramel sauce (reserve a little caramel to swirl on top if desired).
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk and caramel mixture using a spatula, keeping the mixture airy and evenly blended.
  7. Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or airtight container. Drizzle reserved caramel on top and swirl with a knife if desired.
  8. Freeze for at least 6 hours or ideally overnight until firm but scoopable.

Notes

Do not rush caramel melting to avoid bitterness. Whip cream to soft peaks only. Fold gently to keep airiness. Freeze at least 6 hours for best texture. If caramel crystallizes, microwave for 10-15 seconds and stir.
