This incredibly creamy no-churn salted caramel ice cream requires only three ingredients and no ice cream maker. It’s the perfect easy dessert for impressing guests or satisfying a late-night craving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) salted caramel sauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes (optional but helpful).
  2. Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes, then increase to high speed. Whip until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes with a hand mixer.
  3. Pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk over the whipped cream. Gently fold it in using a rubber spatula until smooth, thick, and uniform.
  4. If using, drizzle in the vanilla extract and fold gently.
  5. Spread about one-third of the cream mixture into a loaf pan. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of salted caramel sauce over the top. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl it through, creating distinct ribbons. Repeat with another layer of cream, more caramel, and a final layer of cream. Finish with the remaining caramel on top and create a few gentle swirls.
  6. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the top.
  7. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals. Cover with lid or foil. 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 for easier scooping.

Notes

For best results, use full-fat heavy cream (at least 36% milk fat) and room temperature caramel sauce. Do not over-whip the cream. Swirl the caramel gently to create distinct ribbons. The flavor improves after 24 hours in the freezer.
