I would be grateful if you shared this recipe :-)

Caramel ice cream made without an ice cream maker! If you love ice cream, and you want an easy homemade ice cream recipe, it doesn’t get any easier than this no-churn caramel ice cream.

This creamy ice cream is cold and refreshing, and perfect for a hot summer day! This no-churn ice cream recipe is the easiest way to make ice cream from scratch!!

It is HOT outside and I am so excited to make some homemade ice cream.

A few weeks ago, I decided to do my first Facebook Live video. I am still learning how to do this. I mean, live means you can’t edit out the “bloopers”…like when the cream splashed all over me :-).

It was pretty nerve-wracking!! The good part about making an ice cream recipe video is that you can see how easy this Vitamix ice cream recipe is to make. It blended my ingredients in just 30 seconds!

Bloopers aside, I couldn’t believe how many comments I got from readers who didn’t know how easy it can be to make ice cream from scratch. (*Just see below, I included a video of my live experience for you.)

I dumped the caramel ice cream ingredients into my Vitamix and then froze everything. It was creamy and delicious; definitely as good as any store-bought ice cream :-). It is totally easy to make ice cream without an ice cream maker!!

This easy vegetarian gluten free ice cream recipe is perfect for a crowd, or an ice cream bar. I plan to make a few flavors for our next pool party. This easy ice cream recipe is SO much better than store-bought ice cream. If you want, you can even add some flaked sea salt to make homemade salted caramel ice cream.

If you need a gluten free ice cream cone, those are also easy to make.

Once you watch the video, you will see how easy this ice cream is to make :-).

Vanilla

I also need to say, I am loving Rodelle’s Vanilla Paste. I used it in this recipe and it really added a splash of sweet vanilla to this ice cream. It is different from vanilla because you get all of the taste from the vanilla beans, without any alcohol.

I used a bread loaf tin to freeze this ice cream in. You can also use plastic containers. (Don’t use glass!!)

Things You Need To Make This Caramel Ice Cream Recipe:

  1. I love to make ice cream in a loaf pan. It stays cold for a long time so your ice cream doesn’t melt as fast.
  2. Vitamix makes this so easy to make in one container.
  3. Nestle La Lachera Dulce le Leche makes this ice cream burst with caramel flavor!

  2. This recipe looks like a lot of fun. And I love that you don’t have to churn this to get it right. I wish you had another recipe other than caramel. Unfortunately its not one of my daughters favorites. Maybe I could do something a little different and come out with a cookies and cream or a mint one. Anyway, it looks amazing.

    • Hi David, I have a few no-churn recipes on my site. Lemon, white chocolate raspberry, and even a sorbet if your daughter would like one of those. Thanks for stopping by 🙂

  7. My husband keeps saying he wants to try to make ice cream at home, I didn’t realize it could be this easy! I’ve never heard of the vanilla paste, but I’ll have to check it out, we use vanilla a lot at our house!

  10. That looks superb, I love live videos on the web, sadly my rural web connection means it is impossible for me to do… In all fairness my love of profanity means it would need to come with a parental guidance warning 😮 😉

  25. You know, Caramel icecream is what we have been bingeing on the last 3 weeks, though its all store-bought! I am gonna try this soon Sandi! Loved that video btw, you rock!!

    • Hi Carole, I am going to test this out with coconut milk, but it wouldn’t be caramel since the caramel I am using has dairy. Stay tuned and I will create something dairy free and delicious. Do you have any requests? I am thinking fresh fruit of some sort….

  33. Oh my. If you knew how much my family loves their caramel and their ice-cream you’d understand that this is one recipe I could be making time and time again over the summer. The chocolate chips on top are a great idea.
