Description

Caramel pretzel ice cream combines creamy caramel ice cream with crunchy pretzels and a swirl of golden caramel sauce for the ultimate sweet and salty treat.


Ingredients

  1. *2 cups heavy cream
    1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
    1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
    1 cup mini pretzels, crushed
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    Additional caramel sauce for swirls (optional)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed.

  1. In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, caramel sauce, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well combined.
  2. Gently fold the caramel mixture into the whipped cream until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much.
  3. Crush the mini pretzels into small pieces and fold them into the ice cream mixture, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top.
  4. Transfer the ice cream mixture into a loaf pan or another freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top and swirl it into the ice cream with a knife or skewer.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining crushed pretzels over the top and gently press them into the ice cream.
  7. Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Notes

  • For an extra touch of flavor, caramelize the pretzels by tossing them in melted butter and a bit of sugar before adding them to the ice cream.
  • For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream or almond milk and a dairy-free sweetened condensed milk alternative.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. For the best texture, cover the surface with plastic wrap before sealing the container.
