- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tbsp salted caramel, or regular caramel, coffee syrup
- 1/2 cup caramel syrup
- 1 1/2 tsp course sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups roughly crumbled pretzels
Instructions

- Use a spatula to gently stir in the condensed milk and the coffee syrup until they're evenly incorporated.1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk, 1 tbsp salted caramel, or regular caramel, coffee syrup
- Transfer the mixture to a standard metal loaf pan. Add the caramel syrup, the crushed pretzels, and salt to the top. Use a butter knife to cut/stir in the caramel syrup ribbon, the pretzels, and the sea salt.1/2 cup caramel syrup, 1 1/2 cups roughly crumbled pretzels, 1 1/2 tsp course sea salt
- Cover and freeze the ice cream for 8-10 hours, or until frozen through.
- Drizzle with additional caramel syrup when serving, if desired.
Notes
- There is absolutely no substitute for the heavy cream. Your ice cream won't set properly with light cream or half and half.
- If you don't want to make the ice cream itself caramel flavored with the flavored coffee syrup you could just mix in a teaspoon of vanilla extract instead.
- Coarse sea salt is a must over table salt or more finely ground salts. Table salt has too much bite to it while the coarse sea salt will add just the right note of savory saltiness.
