Ireland is the land of incredible dairy products.
The cheeses, creams, even the butter tasted like magic. Irish magic.
And, in the quaint little town of Dingle:
Dingle harbor view from our B&B
We discovered the best one of all.
ICE CREAM.
We stayed in Dingle for 3 days and I’m not ashamed to admit that we went to Murphy’s every day. They had regular flavors like vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. For the adventurous, they also had brown bread, Guinness, and sea salt ice cream! My husband got the sea salt one time and had to goad me into trying it. It was awesome. Sweet and salty perfection.
So, I made sea salt ice cream, no Irish magic required. Only 3 ingredients! Recipe below.
Oh, and here’s another sheep video for ya:
Kissane Sheep Farm, Kenmare, Ireland
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- ¾ teaspoon good quality sea salt (I used flaky sea salt)
- In a medium bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk and sea salt. Fold in the whipped cream until no white streaks remain.
- Place in a covered container and freeze overnight (or at least 6 hours).

no machine? I like this! And I would likely have these ingredients on hand! I love your Ireland memories…it is on my husband’s wish list, although my videos would be nothing but golf courses! It’ s so beautiful!
Yup, no machine! Super easy
I’m glad you’re enjoying the pictures/videos. It is nice to reminisce about the trip!
You are killing my diet! Hahahaha But, I am so glad you are;) Going to try this next weekend!!
Thanks, Lisa!
Thant looks absolutely delicious! They say that salt enhances the sweetness flavour, I’m sure it would be excellent in ice-cream!
You’re totally right – the balance of the sweet and the salty is perfect!
Jennifer~This recipe is deadly to me!! I can make yummo ice cream on a daily basis thanks to you!!!
No ice cream machine required…Seriously, I cannot wait to try.
Thanks so much, Carrie!
yum- love everything sea salt!
Thanks, Elizabeth! I’m kind of obsessed myself
Yes, please!
And omg, those little sheepies are just the cutest!
Thanks, Rachael! The lambs were killing me with their cuteness. We got to feed them too! They are aggressive little buggers with those bottles
They really are crazy little guys!
Eek– I LOVE ice cream recipes that don’t need an ice cream machine, being as I a so so sadly without one. DEFINITELY pinning this to try when it gets a little bit warmer around here!
Thanks, Bee!
I love this sweet and salty ice cream idea. Those sheep are precious!
Thanks, Lora! Seeing the sheep never got old for me…even though we saw a million of them
That video is too cute! The hubs loves ice cream – can’t wait to give this one a try.
PS – Irish Butter is our family’s favorite. I have to ration it – no joke.
Isn’t it amazing? We sometimes get Kerrygold butter just to splurge, but it still doesn’t taste quite the same. It’s that Irish magic, I think
Thanks, Patricia!
Love the simplicity of this! Definitely have to try this over the weekend!
Thanks, Chung-Ah!

Thanks, Mike!
Loved the gambolling lambs! Never seen that in real life
And LOVED the sound of your Icecream. At what point do you mix the cream and the condensed milk?
Oops! I accidentely omitted the step in the recipe – it has been updated! Thanks so much for letting me know, Radhika

Sweet and salty desserts are just the best!
I totally agree, Elizabeth!
I have to say this sounds kind of crazy, but I would be totally willing to give it a try! I’ll try anything once!
I know how you feel; I was hesitant to try it at first. But, it is SO good!
Jennifer, are you for real?! This ice cream is out of this world AWESOME. I live for sea-salting ANYTHING and everything (sometimes maybe toooo much, haha). Plus, isn’t this ice cream recipe totally amazing? SO easy. Love!
Oh, it is SO delicious! There has been an epic battle going on in the house between my husband and I about this ice cream
Ireland does seem like such a gorgeous country overflowing with great food. I’ve never heard of this ice cream so thanks for the intro and recipe — sound fantastic!
Thanks, Nancy! We were so lucky to go there
