Gluten-Free Salted Caramel & Brownie Ice Cream

Brace yourself… because this Gluten-Free Salted Caramel & Brownie Ice Cream is the ultimate indulgence. Rich, creamy, swirled with ribbons of salted caramel and packed with fudgy chunks of brownie, it’s what dessert dreams are made of.

Once you try it, you’ll never want to buy shop-bought again. It’s just that good.

No-Churn Magic (Yes, Really!)

Traditional ice cream involves tempering eggs, making custard, using an ice cream maker… and it’s all a bit of a faff. But not this one!

This is a no-churn ice cream, meaning there’s:

No ice cream machine needed
No custard base
No faffing with multiple freeze-and-stir steps

The secret? Sweetened condensed milk. Combine it with whipped cream and you’ve got an ice cream base that’s creamy, soft, and dreamy, all in a fraction of the time.

Homemade Brownie Chunks

Yes, you’ll need brownies for this recipe… and yes, it’s worth it. I used my Gluten-Free Belgian Chocolate Brownies, which are dense, fudgy, and rich, basically the perfect ice cream mix-in.

That said, if you're short on time (or just feeling lazy), you can absolutely use store-bought gluten-free brownies too. No judgment here!

Salted Caramel Swirls

While the brownies are baking, it's the perfect time to make up your salted caramel sauce. I’ve made my own many times, but if you want to take a shortcut, I highly recommend the Tesco Finest Salted Caramel Sauce. It’s creamy, rich, and works beautifully in this recipe.

When you swirl it through the ice cream with the brownie pieces, you’re left with this decadent, sticky-sweet, salty, chocolatey combo that is honestly just… dangerous.

How to Freeze It

Once your condensed milk and whipped cream are combined, just fold in the chopped brownie chunks and caramel, then spoon into a container. Swirl a little extra caramel on top (because obviously) and freeze until firm.

Scoop. Serve. Devour.
