Print Recipe

A quick and easy no-churn ice cream combining the salty crunch of pretzels with rich, buttery salted caramel swirls for a creamy homemade treat without an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1 (14 oz / 396 g) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 3/4 cup (about 225 g) salted caramel sauce
  • 1 cup (about 60 g) pretzels, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 g) sea salt

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before starting.
  2. Pour 2 cups of cold heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl and whip with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk, 3/4 cup salted caramel sauce, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the caramel mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whipped cream carefully to keep the mixture airy.
  5. Fold in the roughly chopped pretzels and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt gently to keep the pretzels crunchy.
  6. Pour half of the mixture into a freezer-safe loaf pan or container. Drizzle a thin layer of extra salted caramel sauce on top, then add the remaining ice cream mixture. Use a knife or skewer to create a marbled swirl effect.
  7. Cover the container tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until firm.
  8. Remove from the freezer about 5 minutes before serving to soften slightly for easy scooping.

Notes

Chill your mixing bowls and beaters before whipping cream for better texture. Fold pretzels in last to keep them crunchy. Freeze at least 6 hours or overnight for best texture. Let ice cream soften 5-10 minutes before serving for easier scooping. Use high-quality salted caramel sauce for best flavor. Can substitute gluten-free pretzels or dairy-free alternatives for dietary needs.
