Description

This Homemade Salted Caramel Ice Cream is a rich and creamy treat made with whipped full cream milk and sweetened condensed milk, blended gently and topped with luscious salted caramel and toasted peanuts for a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors. Easy to prepare with no churning required, it makes a delightful dessert to enjoy any time.


Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

  • 1 1/2 cup (360 ml) full cream milk, very cold
  • 1 1/2 cup (360 ml) sweetened condensed milk

Toppings

  • Salted caramel sauce (as desired)
  • Unsalted peanuts, toasted


Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream: Using very cold full cream milk, whip it until it transforms into thick whipped cream. This step is crucial to achieve the creamy texture of the ice cream base.
  2. Incorporate Condensed Milk: Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula. Blend carefully until the mixture is fully combined to maintain airiness.
  3. Pour Into Mold: Transfer the cream mixture into a deep mold or container of your choice, ensuring it is deep enough to hold the ice cream as it freezes.
  4. Add Toppings: Drizzle salted caramel sauce generously over the surface. Sprinkle toasted unsalted peanuts on top to add crunch and complement the salty-sweet flavor.
  5. Toasting Peanuts: If using raw unsalted peanuts, toast them in the oven under the grill setting until golden and fragrant, then allow to cool before adding as topping.
  6. Freeze: Place the mold in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours or until the ice cream is fully set and firm.
  7. Serve: Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy the creamy, salted caramel delight with the crunchy peanut texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the full cream milk is very cold before whipping to achieve better volume and creaminess.
  • Use a gentle folding method to keep the mixture light and airy.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of salted caramel and peanuts based on personal taste preference.
  • You can substitute peanuts with other nuts like almonds or pecans for variety.
  • This recipe requires no ice cream machine, making it simple and accessible.
