Salted caramel lovers rejoice! This easy homemade no churn Salted Caramel Pretzel Ice Cream is packed full of salted caramel & pretzels. It will make you swoon with delight.
I have to admit, I have never been one to gravitate towards caramel. It can be sort of overwhelming for me & sometimes even too rich. Which then makes me want to abandon my dessert before it’s done. So since I really don’t want a good dessert to go to waste, I usually stick with chocolate or some other favorite.
Until salted caramel came around. That one was a game changer for me. I absolutely love it & can’t get enough.
Is it sweltering hot where you are right now? By this time of year we were melting when we lived in Southern Nevada. That heat stuck around for a good 8-10 months. Now that we are up in North Idaho, it is quite pleasant & mild. I just finally shed my slippers the other day. But that doesn’t mean I’m not always looking for some ice cream to enjoy.
So I was going through a few recipes one weekend & really had a craving for something salted caramel. I knew just the thing – ice cream. Like I was craving it in the worst way.
So I whipped up this homemade batch of super easy no churn ice cream & it was all I could do to wait for it to freeze. Just licking the spatula after transferring it to the dish I was in heaven.
This is every salted caramel lovers dream. Oh, did I mention the pretzels? Yeah- that really adds to some incredible flavor in there too.

A little salted caramel, some crunch & a little more salt with that ice cream. It’s sooooooooo good.
This homemade ice cream is so incredibly creamy. Everything you remember about ice cream as a kid. So rich, so decadent. I’m in love.
I can’t even tell you just how good. But I can say that the family polished this batch off in one night – gone & already asking for more.
Here are some commonly asked questions
Can I change the toppings & mix-ins for this ice cream?
Yes, absolutely you can change the toppings & mix-ins. Sometimes we like to add in nuts, toffee bits, M&M’s or sprinkles. It really just depends on your preference.
Can regular table salt be used instead?
I suppose you could use table salt. I would imagine that because it is so fine, you would need to increase the quantity so it can be tasted.
How to store salted caramel ice cream?
It is best when stored in an airtight container in the freezer. Just remove it about 5-10 minutes before scooping to make it a bit easier to serve.
If you live in an unusually hot climate, I recommend not letting it sit out before serving.
Does this recipe call for eggs?
Nope, no eggs are required for this recipe. That is what makes it so easy & delicious. Nothing complicated, just the right stuff to make an insanely creamy & tasty dessert.

Salted Caramel Pretzel Ice Cream
Can I make this without the mixer?
Absolutely, but you will need a hand mixer at least because the heavy whipping cream needs to be whipped well to create the right consistency.
I don’t need an ice cream maker for this recipe?
Nope, you don’t need a machine to make this recipe. Just whip those ingredients & pour into the pan. Because this doesn’t require any churning, it does take a bit longer to freeze once it is mixed, but I promise it is 100% worth the wait.
Can this recipe be doubled?
Absolutely. We double this recipe often. I highly recommend it. Just mix & then pour into 2 pans, add your mix-ins & freeze. I like to do this before a celebration when I know everyone will want to come back for more.
To make this recipe you will need…
- heavy whipping cream
- sweetened condensed milk
- Coffee Syrup in Salted Caramel flavor
