Save Indulge in this irresistibly creamy, egg-free salted caramel ice cream, made without an ice cream maker. Simply whip chilled halal cream, fold in condensed milk and homemade caramel, then freeze. The result is a smooth, luscious dessert with bold caramel swirls and a hint of sea salt. Halal-certified and ready in minutes (plus freezing time).
The kitchen filled with the scent of melting sugar that afternoon I tried to make caramel for the first time. It was a risky experiment with a pot and a spoon but the result was pure magic.
I remember serving this at a summer dinner party and watching eyes light up with the first spoonful. Nobody could believe it was homemade because it tasted even better than the premium stuff from the store.
