Dulce de Leche Ice Cream

Rebecca Lindamood
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Dulce de leche ice cream is richly indulgent caramel ice cream with rivers of silky dulce de leche swirled through it. It is the kind of ice cream that's so good that you hide the last few bites of in the back of the freezer to keep it to yourself.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups dulce de leche divided
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

Instructions
 

  • Pour one cup of cream and 1 cup of the dulce de leche into a saucepan with the sugar and whisk gently over low heat just until the sugar is fully dissolved. Add the remaining heavy cream, milk, salt, and vanilla and whisk to combine.
    Refrigerate for at least one hour, or until very well chilled, but up to overnight.
  • Freeze in your ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. When the ice cream is done churning, dollop by tablespoons and swirl in the remaining 1/2 cup dulce de leche. Transfer to a freezer safe container and freeze for at least two hours or until firm.
