Print Recipe

A quick and easy no-churn ice cream combining creamy sweetness with salty pretzel crunch and rich caramel swirls, perfect for summer treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) salted caramel sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups (about 100 g) pretzels, roughly crushed
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for about 15 minutes beforehand to help the cream whip faster.
  2. Pour 2 cups (480 ml) of heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the entire can (14 oz / 396 g) of sweetened condensed milk with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir gently until well mixed.
  4. Using a spatula, carefully fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk base in three additions, just enough to combine and keep the fluffy texture.
  5. Pour half of the ice cream mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Drizzle about half of the salted caramel sauce over the top in ribbons, then sprinkle half of the crushed pretzels evenly.
  6. Repeat with the remaining ice cream mixture, caramel, and pretzels. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the caramel through the ice cream for a marbled effect.
  7. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top to enhance the salted caramel flavor. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
  8. Freeze for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight, until firm.
  9. Remove from the freezer about 5 minutes before scooping to soften slightly for easier serving.

Notes

Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better results. Fold whipped cream gently to keep texture light. Swirl caramel carefully to create pockets of sweetness. Freeze at least 6 hours or overnight for best texture. Use metal pan to speed freezing. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free caramel sauce. For gluten-free, use gluten-free pretzels.
