No Churn Sugar Free Caramel Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream: A Summer Dream

This no churn sugar free Caramel Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream is a delicious way to satisfy your sweet tooth without the extra calories.

Gotta keep that swimsuit body you worked so hard for, or are working for in my case.

I am absolutely hooked on the no churn ice cream method. The trick is whipping the cream before freezing instead of during the freezing process.

Even though I have this easy to use ice cream maker that I love, I am forever forgetting to put it in the freezer to chill. And when the kid wants to make ice cream, he wants to make it NOW! not tomorrow.

Homemade Sugar Free Sweetened Condensed Milk

Besides the whipped cream, you need sweetened condensed milk in the ice cream base. We were out and my husband wanted sugar free. So, I made my own with a little help from this post from Donna Reisch.  It took just a few extra minutes.

Tips for No Churn Chocolate Caramel Ice Cream

If you don't want to bother with the no sugar added part, use a can of sweetened condensed milk, and regular chocolate and caramel sauce

One warning I need to give you about the procedure is not to over mix the whipping cream. Stop it the second stiff peaks form or you will end up with frozen whipped cream chunks instead of rich creamy ice cream.

It is better to under whip it a bit than to over whip it.

Ingredients

 

Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk

• 1 cup instant non-fat milk
• ¼ cup boiling water
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• ⅓ cup sugar free sweetener (splenda, stevia, etc.)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (not imitation)

Ice Cream Base

• 2 cups cold heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Ice Cream

• Sugar Free Caramel Sauce
• Sugar Free Chocolate Sauce

Instructions

 

Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk

• Mix all ingredients in a blender, or in a bowl with an immersion blender, until smooth.

Ice Cream Base

• Whip the heavy cream in a large bowl with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
• Add the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the sweetened condensed milk mixture.
• Add one scoop of the whipped cream to the bowl of condensed milk and mix it in. Then gently fold the rest of the whipped cream into the now lightened condensed milk. Do not over mix.

Chocolate Caramel Swirl Ice Cream

• Pour half of the whipped cream/condensed milk mixture into an 8” loaf pan. Drizzle with caramel and chocolate sauces. Top with remaining whipped cream/condensed milk.
• Use a butter knife to incorporate the caramel and chocolate sauces throughout the ice cream by pressing it down into the mixture and making sweeping “cuts” back and forth across the entire length of the pan.
• Cover with wax paper and press down slightly to remove any air pockets.
• Place in freezer for a minimum of 6 hours, but preferably overnight.
