Vanilla Bean Salted Caramel Sauce + Brownie Chunks + Creamy Vanilla Bean Ice Cream = an AWESOME way to celebrate pretty much any occasion.

What might be my favorite part of this recipe is that it took about 2 minutes to pull it together!
Last time I made a batch of this ice cream, I used a couple of leftover gluten-free brownies, but pretty much any brownie recipe will be great in this as well.
Brownie Ice Cream
Warm brownies with a scoop of cold ice cream and a generous pour of chocolate sauce are one of my favorite desserts.
That awesome pairing first inspired this Brownie Ice Cream years ago. Since then, we’ve made countless desserts with brownies and ice cream.
Almond Joy Brownie Sundaes and Chocolate Raspberry Brownies with ice cream, just to name a couple.
Homemade Ice Cream Recipes
I have a fairly well-established fondness for homemade ice creams. With 68 ice cream recipes on this website and more ice cream makers in my house than I even want to admit to owning, there are endless ways to enjoy a bowl of ice cream.
oh! And speaking of those ice cream makers, did you know that you can make almost any ice cream recipe without a machine?

Caramel Swirl Ice Cream
- Whisk together the whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and salt.
- Pour into your ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s directions.
- When the mixture has finished churning, transfer to a freezer-safe container.
- Swirl in 1/2 cup caramel sauce and add the brownie chunks. Stir gently to combine. Place in the freezer until firm.
- Let the ice cream rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes prior to scooping. Drizzle with remaining caramel sauce before serving.
