Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- 4 Ingredients: This No Churn Salted Caramel Ice Cream just has 4 ingredients! I love simple recipes with minimal ingredients that have big flavor, just like Homemade Chewy Coffee Caramel Candies, and this recipe is delicious ice cream with minimal ingredients.
- Sweet and Salty: This organic ice cream recipe is both sweet and salty, which strikes the perfect balance with the creamy base. If you have never had salted caramel ice cream before, you are in for a real treat!
- No Churn: I love this homemade ice cream because you don’t need an ice cream maker to make this. You just need a stand mixer (or hand mixer). Check out more no churn ice cream recipes like Raspberry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Without Eggs, Cookies and Cream Coffee Ice Cream, or Organic Rocky Road Ice Cream. You don't need any special equipment to make this easy ice cream.
- Organic: If you love ice cream, but don't love artificial colors, flavors, soy, or seed oils, then you'll love this homemade ice cream. It has just 4 organic ingredients so you can indulge in organic ice cream without all the crap!
Ingredients
- Caramel Sauce: I make my homemade Homemade True Caramel Sauce for this recipe. If you want to buy caramel sauce you can as well. You could also use Homemade Caramel Sauce with Bone Broth , Chocolate Olive Oil Caramel Sauce or Gingerbread Caramel Sauce. And, you could even use dulce de leche too.
- Heavy Whipping Cream: I use organic heavy cream as part of the ice cream base, this is what gives this ice cream its light and airy texture.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: This is important in this recipe as it is the base of this recipe. And it helps make this no churn recipe work, as it lowers the freezing point so you still get creamy texture. I use the 365 Organic brand.

Add Ins
Try some of these add-ins for delicious, yet easy substitutions that will give you a little different caramel ice cream flavor.
- Try adding in chocolate chips for a chocolate caramel ice cream!
- You can also add in brownie pieces, cookie chunks, or even chocolate chip cookie dough.
- Adding in some toasted coconut will give you a tropical vibe.

Baker's Tips
- I make my own caramel sauce, but you can use store bought.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness by doing less caramel if you prefer.
- You can use Homemade Chocolate Ganache, Brown Butter Butterscotch Sauce, or Homemade Blueberry Syrup in place of caramel for a chocolate fudge swirl ice cream. You could even use peanut butter too!
- Feel free to add chocolate chips for salted caramel chocolate chip ice cream.
- I use an 8-inch cake pan to chill the ice cream, but a 9-inch pan would work and so would a 1-pound loaf pan. You can also put this directly into a tupperware as well.
How to Make Salted Caramel No Churn Ice Cream
- In a small bowl mix together the caramel sauce and sea salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the heavy whipping cream. Mix on low to avoid splattering and gradually increase as the cream starts to thicken. Continue to increase speed until you are at full speed. Whisk until stiff peaks form.
- Fold in the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream.
- Add a third of the cream mixture into a 8-inch cake pan and spread evenly. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top.
- Swirl it around.
- Then repeat this process with the remaining cream and caramel two more times. Drizzle more caramel on top and swirl it in. Freeze overnight.
Salted Caramel No Churn Ice Cream FAQ’s
Not if you are making no churn ice cream! You just need an electric mixer, either a stand mixer (or hand mixer) to whip the whipped cream.
Yes, if you don’t want to make caramel you can use store bought. But I highly recommend making it as it’s so much better!
Store in an airtight container in the freezer. I let this set up in the pan overnight then transferred it to an airtight container.
