Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 16 oz heavy cream
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
Nuts
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup pecans
Instructions
- Whip the heavy cream: Add the heavy cream to a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, and beat on high speed for 3 minutes until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy texture.
- Incorporate sweetened condensed milk: Add the sweetened condensed milk to the whipped cream and continue beating on high speed for 1 minute to fully combine the ingredients into a smooth and creamy base.
- Add caramel and nuts: Gently fold in the caramel sauce along with the walnuts and pecans using a spatula to evenly distribute the flavors without deflating the whipped cream.
- Transfer to container: Pour the mixture into a bread pan and smooth the surface. Cover tightly with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming during freezing.
- Freeze: Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 8 hours or preferably overnight to set completely before serving.
Notes
- For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle additional caramel sauce and sprinkle extra chopped nuts on top before serving.
- Make sure to whip the heavy cream properly to stiff peaks to achieve a creamy, airy ice cream texture.
- This no-churn recipe requires no special equipment like an ice cream maker.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent freezer burn.
- Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for easier serving.
