Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup diced apples
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
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 it forms soft peaks. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the cream has reached the desired consistency, add the 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk to the bowl. Gently fold the condensed milk into the whipped cream using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; use a gentle folding motion.
- Next, add the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture and fold it in until evenly combined.
- Now, take the 1 cup of diced apples and fold them into the ice cream mixture. Ensure the apples are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Drizzle in the 1/2 cup of caramel sauce, and gently fold it in to create a marbled effect. You can reserve a little caramel sauce for drizzling on top later if desired.
- Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula, and if you reserved some caramel sauce, drizzle it over the top of the mixture for added flavor and presentation.
- Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap, ensuring it is airtight. Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
- Once the ice cream is fully frozen, scoop it into bowls or cones and enjoy your delicious Caramel Apple No Churn Ice Cream!
Tips
- * To ensure your whipped cream forms soft peaks, make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are chilled in the freezer for at least 10 minutes before starting. * Don't overmix the condensed milk and whipped cream, as this can deflate the mixture and result in a dense ice cream. * For an extra caramel kick, reserve a little caramel sauce for drizzling on top of the ice cream before serving. * Experiment with different types of apples, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, for varying flavor profiles. * If you're short on time, you can also use store-bought caramel sauce to speed up the prep process.
