Ingredients

Scale

2 cups heavy cream, chilled
1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup thick caramel sauce
1 medium Granny Smith apple
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Wash, peel, and finely dice the apple.
Toss the diced apples with cinnamon in a small bowl until evenly coated.
Whip the chilled heavy cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream using a spatula.
Swirl in half of the caramel sauce to create ripples.
Fold in the cinnamon-dusted apple pieces until distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container.
Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top.
Freeze for at least 6 hours until firm.

Notes

Ensure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping to achieve the best volume. Using a Granny Smith apple provides the necessary acidity and crunch to balance the sweetness of the caramel and condensed milk. You can store this in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to two weeks.
