Print Recipe

A rich and creamy no-churn ice cream featuring nutty brown butter and luscious salted caramel, perfect for quick homemade indulgence without an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream (480 ml)
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk (300 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: flaked sea salt for topping
  • Optional: chopped toasted pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter (5-7 minutes): In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir frequently as it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat immediately once browned bits appear to prevent burning.
  2. Make the Caramel (8-10 minutes): Using the same saucepan, add granulated sugar over medium-low heat. Stir constantly until sugar melts into a smooth amber liquid. Slowly whisk in the browned butter until fully combined. Remove from heat and stir in sea salt and vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.
  3. Whip the Heavy Cream (5 minutes): In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Avoid overbeating.
  4. Combine Ingredients (3 minutes): Gently fold sweetened condensed milk into whipped cream until just combined. Carefully fold in the brown butter caramel mixture, creating ribbons of caramel without overmixing.
  5. Transfer & Freeze (6+ hours): Pour mixture into a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 6 hours or until firm. Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.

Notes

Use unsalted butter to control saltiness. Whip cream in cold bowls for best results. Gently warm caramel if it thickens before folding. Let ice cream soften 5-10 minutes before serving for perfect scoopability. Store in airtight container up to 2 weeks. For dairy-free version, substitute coconut cream and dairy-free condensed milk, and brown coconut oil instead of butter.
