The easiest salted caramel ice cream doesn’t require a machine

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:57:45 GMT

By Melissa Clark, The New York TimesWhen you urgently need a frozen treat without leaving the house to get it, the most satisfying shortcut might be a cold and fluffy no-churn ice cream.Made from sweetened condensed milk and whipped cream, it’s almost absurdly minimalist and doesn’t even require an ice cream machine. There’s no fussing over curdle-prone egg yolks, because you don’t have to cook a custard.
