Print Recipe

A quick and easy no-churn ice cream combining creamy whipped cream, sweetened condensed milk, salted caramel sauce, and crunchy pretzels for a perfect sweet and salty homemade dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) salted caramel sauce
  • 1 cup (120 g) pretzels, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chill the mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
  2. Pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir the sweetened condensed milk with vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold this mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula.
  4. Reserve 1/4 cup (60 ml) of salted caramel sauce for topping. Slowly fold the remaining 1/2 cup (120 ml) of caramel sauce into the ice cream base to create swirls.
  5. Fold in the roughly chopped pretzels, keeping some larger pieces for texture.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container. Drizzle the reserved caramel on top and create a marbled effect with a knife or skewer. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top if desired, then cover.
  7. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. Remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly.

Notes

Chill the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better results. Fold ingredients gently to keep the mixture airy. Swirl caramel instead of mixing fully to preserve ribbons. Use flaky sea salt on top for enhanced flavor. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free caramel sauce. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free pretzels.
