This no-churn salted caramel ice cream is creamy, rich, and incredibly easy to make – no ice cream maker required. Just mix, freeze, and enjoy!

I'm possibly a little late to the party on the whole 'no-churn' ice-cream thing but I whipped this up before Christmas to share now and since then have seen quite a few recipes floating around.
I've been meaning to make it ever since I saw Nigella's coffee version on Nigelissima back when I had the food channel.
Seeing her bite into a big brioche bun filled with ice-cream she'd made just a few hours before made me want to run straight to the kitchen but it was a rare occasion that I didn't have the ingredients on hand.
Fast forward to December and I spotted a jar of salted caramel sauce as Woolies. I didn't know what I was going to use it for but I had to have it.
When I got home, inspiration struck and so no churn salted caramel ice cream was born.
Rich, decadent, creamy, indulgent - just a few words I would use to describe this ice-cream. It's not really the sort of ice-cream you would eat by the bowlful although we did try it like that first.
I crumbled some gingerbread in mine (as you do) but my husband had his plain and it was just too rich to finish.
The next day, I'd just pulled a gingerbread loaf from the oven to make gingerbread truffles. The aroma had me wanting to cut off a slice straight away but then it hit me - gingerbread loaf and salted caramel ice-cream.
It was a match made in heaven. This mouthful went straight in my mouth and as soon as I was sure I'd gotten enough pics I pulled up a chair right in front of my shoot set up and ate the whole plateful straight from the prop spoon.
So my advice to you - do make this ice-cream but definitely serve it as an accompaniment to something equally as delicious. Enjoy!
What about you? Have you made no-churn ice-cream yet?

I've just come across this recipe, FANTASTIC! I put a little Vodka in the mix and it stopped any ice crystals forming. Keeps it smooth.
Claire says
Great idea Pabloe. I only just recently discovered this trick.
Helene says
This is a keeper! Thank you :)
Claire says
You're welcome!
Kirsten (Miss Foodie) says
Yummo!!! I'm so loving homemade ice-cream at the moment. Definitely going to try your version :)
Claire says
Hope you like it! :-)
The Café Sucre Farine says
Looks amazing Claire but I must be living under a rock as I haven't been turned on to this - till now!!
Claire says
Well I'm glad I wasn't the only one Chris.
Erin @ she cooks, she gardens says
Great recipe, and I've never heard of this method before either. Will have to give it a shot.
Claire says
It's so easy Erin. My cream was so thick it literally took about 20 seconds to make it.
Danielle says
This is heaven on a plate (or in a bowl) and such a perfect pairing with the gingerbread loaf. It's dangerous how easy this is to make!
Claire says
Seriously dangerous!
Matt says
Ooh, salted caramel sounds amazing. My wife has been doing the no churn since seeing that Nigella recipe a while back. We did the coffee once, then we've changed it up each time. Chocolate, vanilla, jaffa, it's amazing how versatile the recipe is. I might just slip her your salted caramel recipe, she'll love it! :o)
(And so will I)
Claire says
Sounds like a good plan Matt!
KayleneP @ The Links Site says
Mmm.. this looks so good, it is so hot here in Bendigo (about 42 degrees where I am!). I wish I had some cream so I could make it right now! Maybe I will have to brave the heat and pop to the supermarket!
Claire says
It's a tough one Kaylene. It's worth it but when we had our 40C day I wouldn't have left the house for anything!
Maureen | Orgasmic Chef says
Oh this looks SO good! Every photo makes me hungry.
Claire says
I'm a little bit tempted to whip up a batch for after dinner!
Lorraine @ Not Quite Nigella says
I'm a big fan of no churn ice creams. I have a churner but I never have enough freezer space to put the bowl. Salted caramel is such a great flavour :)
Claire says
Me either Loraine! I actually have a condenser one on loan and it's great. You just have to turn it on 5 minutes before you need it so it chills.
Krystle(Baking Beauty) says
I love caramel, but honestly hadn't heard about this no churn thing. I need to get on board!
Claire says
Oh yes Krystle you do! You can pretty much use the cream and condensed milk as a base and add whatever you like to flavour it.
