Indulge in the creamy decadence of **Quickie Caramel Ice Cream**, a no-churn dessert that’s as simple as it is luxurious! With just four main ingredients—heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, caramel sauce, and a hint of vanilla—this easy recipe comes together in just 10 minutes of prep time. For salted caramel lovers, a sprinkle of sea salt elevates the flavor profile for a sweet-and-salty twist. No ice cream maker is required; simply whip, fold, and freeze for a rich, velvety treat that’s ready to scoop in a matter of hours. Perfect for summer cravings or an effortless sweet finish to any meal, this quick homemade caramel ice cream ensures big flavor with minimal effort.
Place a large mixing bowl and beaters (or a whisk attachment if using a stand mixer) in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill.
In the chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using a hand or stand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. This will take around 3 to 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, caramel sauce, vanilla extract, and sea salt (if using). Mix until well incorporated.
Gently fold the caramel mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; fold just until fully combined.
Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container or loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and drizzle a little extra caramel sauce on top if desired.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 6 hours or until firm.
Scoop, serve, and enjoy your Quickie Caramel Ice Cream!
