Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
- 1 cup crushed pretzels
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, pour in the 2 cups of heavy cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip the cream, as it can turn grainy.
- In another bowl, combine the 1 can of sweetened condensed milk and 1/2 cup of salted caramel sauce. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the caramel mixture using a spatula. Be careful to maintain the airiness of the whipped cream as you incorporate the two mixtures. Continue folding until there are no streaks of white remaining.
- Add the 1 cup of crushed pretzels to the mixture, along with the 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Fold them in gently until evenly distributed throughout the ice cream base.
- Transfer the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula, and if desired, drizzle a little extra salted caramel sauce on top for added flavor and presentation.
- Cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow the ice cream to freeze for at least 4 hours or until it is firm.
- Once the ice cream is fully frozen, scoop it into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade no-churn salted caramel pretzel ice cream!
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are cold before whipping the cream for the best volume and texture.
- Whipping Technique: Watch your cream carefully - soft peaks are key. Over-whipping can make your ice cream grainy and dense.
- Folding is an Art: Use a gentle folding motion when combining ingredients to preserve the air in the whipped cream, which gives your ice cream its light, creamy texture.
- Freezing Hack: For the smoothest texture, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream before freezing to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Serving Suggestion: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping for the perfect, easy-to-serve consistency.
- Storage Tip: Store your ice cream in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and prevent freezer burn.
