No-Churn Salted Caramel Bourbon Ice Cream
by NigellaIntroduction
If I don’t have a tub of this in my deep-freeze, I just don’t feel right about things. I have made many no-churn ice creams in my time, but this is the one I make (and eat) the most. And it’s so very, very easy to whip up: a can of Carnation Caramel (or a jar of dulche de leche), a pot of double cream, some sea salt and bourbon and you’re away. Though, actually, you can do without the bourbon or replace it with rum or, as I do at Christmas, with brandy. My tip: instead of brandy butter, have a scoop of this with your Christmas pudding this year; it’s a seasonal sensation. And I absolutely love this with my Sticky Toffee Pudding.

Show more commentsWow, what a super addition to our Christmas meal, especially as we had Christmas Pudding disaster. Simple and luxurious, I love this ice cream!
Loved this ice cream. The fact that it can be made simply by beating really appealed to me as I do not have an ice cream maker. I probably used too much salt and not enough Bourbon. As we ate it for dessert a mere 6 hours after I made it the ice cream was very soft but I could still roll it very well. I intend using the left overs tomorrow night to accompany the sticky date pudding that I intend making as suggested by Nigella.
This recipe is going to be my favourite, using brandy
Absolutely gorgeous.
My family love this recipe, made it for the first time at Christmas left out the brandy for the grandchildren they all think it’s great ice cream and it’s so easy, quick and cheap to make. Delicious with the sauce from the sticky toffee pudding recipe over the top. Next will be the chocolate truffle ice cream.
When reading this recipe I thought this is a surprise dessert for Christmas dinner. Even though I had made 3 desserts this one was particularly a success! I was nnot allowed to take the leftover ice-cream with me - my father in-law claimed it right away!
Made this to go with the Christmas Pudding. Absolutely gorgeous and very moreish. I still have a bit left in the freezer but not for long. Think I will finish it off with a slice of the Clementine Cake.
This is absolutely the best ice cream ever!! Love it, thank you!
Absolutely scrummy with just one teaspoonful of sea salt flakes, for my taste, plus brandy. SO easy.
Love the simplicity of Nigellas Recipes. I'm a very busy lady and she allows me to cook in a way that makes me feel good about myself without the need to spent hours and hours in the kitchen to prove I am cook ❤️
Armangac works very well too, delicious finish. Cliff
Wow! This was so easy to make & so delicious. I used the minimum amount of salt & bourbon (Jack Daniels Single Barrel). It had a wonderful smooth consistency & the flavor is addictive. I thought my husband might not like it since he doesn't care for salt, but he loved it. I thought I might add more salt to the finished product for me, but it was perfect just the way it was.
