Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) salted caramel sauce
- Optional: pinch of flaky sea salt for topping
- Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract for deeper flavor
Instructions
- Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
- Pour heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl and whip on medium-high speed for 3-5 minutes until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk using a spatula, maintaining airiness.
- Reserve 1/4 cup (60 ml) of caramel sauce for topping. Swirl the remaining 1/2 cup (120 ml) into the whipped cream mixture gently.
- Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or airtight container. Drizzle the reserved caramel on top and create swirls with a skewer or knife.
- Cover tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften.
Notes
Use chilled equipment for best whipping results. Fold ingredients gently to keep the mixture airy. Warm caramel sauce slightly if too thick for swirling. Let ice cream soften before scooping for easier serving. Store in airtight container up to two weeks.
