No-Churn Caramel Ice Cream

This DIY Salted Caramel Ice Cream Only Requires Three Ingredients

— August 27, 2015 — Lifestyle
Homemade ice cream recipes often call for an ice cream machine that churns the ingredients to make them into a creamy frozen treat, but this salted caramel ice cream by Epicurious is specifically no-churn meaning it can be made at home with few ingredients.

This recipe is surprisingly simple calling for boiled sweetened condensed milk, flakey sea salt and extremely cold heavy cream turned into whipped cream that is blended together using a hand mixer and placed into a loaf pan. The mixture sits in the pan till frozen without needing to be mixed, and can be scooped out before serving.

No-churn ice creams are rising in popularity because they allow foodies to make great tasting ice cream at home without the need for fancy equipment.
Trend Themes
1. No-churn Ice Cream - As the popularity of making ice cream at home rises, companies could create ready-to-make, no-churn ice cream kits to meet the demand for quick and easy DIY dessert options.
2. Simple Ingredient Desserts - There is a growing trend in creating desserts with minimal ingredients and easy recipes, opening opportunities for new product lines and menu items that cater to this trend.
3. DIY Desserts - As consumers continue to prioritize DIY and at-home activities, businesses can develop DIY dessert kits to tap into the growing market for experiential at-home cooking and baking.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Businesses can capitalize on the trend of simplified homemade treats by offering easy-to-make dessert mixes or promoting simplified homemade recipes for ice cream and other desserts.
2. Online Recipe Platforms - Online recipe platforms could create and curate more simple desserts, including no-churn ice cream, to appeal to audiences seeking easy-to-make recipes and attract new users who may be intimidated by more complex recipes.
3. Subscription Services - Subscription services could create kits for DIY dessert making that cater to the growing demand for experiential at-home cooking and baking, including no-churn ice cream kits that can be delivered directly to subscribers' doors.
