Best 7 Dulce De Leche Ice Cream Recipes

EASY DULCE DE LECHE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine dulce de leche and 1/4 cup of the heavy cream and beat until smooth.
• In a large bowl, combine remaining heavy cream and vanilla extract. Using a handheld electric mixer, beat cream, starting on low, working up to high, until stiff peaks form (when you lift the beaters out, the peaks of cream should stand straight up without flopping over).
• Use a rubber spatula to fold in about 3/4 of the dulce de leche (reserve 1/4 to swirl in at the end), being careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much.
• Scoop half of the whipped cream mixture into a loaf pan or freezer container. Spoon half of the reserved dulce de leche over the top and use a knife to swirl the mixture into the cream.
• Add remaining whipped cream and repeat with remaining dulce de leche. Cover pan with cling wrap or lid and freeze until solid, at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
• Serve and enjoy!

DULCE DE LECHE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place sweetened, condensed milk into the top of a double boiler. Cook over simmering water for 1½ to 2 hours, stirring every five minutes, until a golden caramel color. Chill half of mixture. Cool the other half to room temperature.
• Heat 2 cups of milk almost to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Whisk eggs in a bowl. Slowly pour about one half cup hot milk into eggs, whisking rapidly to prevent eggs from cooking. Whisk eggs into remaining milk in saucepan. Stir constantly over medium-low heat until custard thickens. It should heavily coat a spoon. Do not allow custard to boil.
• Remove from heat and stir in the room-temperature caramel, add the remaining 1 cup milk and the vanilla. Refrigerate overnight or until very cold.
• Pour ice cream base into an ice-cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions. When ice cream is thick and almost done, dollop in chilled caramel into mixture, allowing it to drip in ribbons from a spoon. Continue processing until done. Freeze if you can wait! Enjoy!

• Slightly soften 1 1/4 pints ice cream; spread over crust. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour. Slightly soften 1 pint sorbet; spread over ice cream. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Slightly soften 1 1/4 pints ice cream; spread over sorbet. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour. Slightly soften 1 pint sorbet; spread over ice cream. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Slightly soften 1 1/2 pints ice cream; spread over sorbet for top layer. Cover; freeze until firm, at least 3 hours and up to 1 week.

SEA SALT DULCE DE LECHE ICE CREAM (ICE CREAM MAKER)

Steps:

• In a 3 quart heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring milk and cream just to a boil over moderate heat. Remove from the heat and whisk in the dulce de leche until it is completely incorporated into the mixture.
• Whisk in the vanilla extract.
• Transfer pan to fridge to cool (be sure to put a potholder or trivet under the bottom so you don't crack the glass shelf). Refrigerate uncovered for about an hour, stirring occasionally. After the hour, cover the pan and chill the mixture for 3 to 6 hours, or until very cold.
• Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker (my Cuisinart took ~30 minutes, but follow the instructions for whatever type maker you have). A minute or two before the ice cream has fully firmed up, toss in the mix-in you choose.
• Transfer ice cream to an airtight container to ripen for at least 1 hour.
• When ready to serve, scoop ice cream into bowls and sprinkle lightly with sea salt (flakes are best, but the coarse-grain sea salt works too). Enjoy!
• NOTE: The original recipe calls for the toasted chopped pecans, but I like to use a lesser amount of Valrhona dark chocolate crunch perles that I find at Whole Foods Market instead. I'm sure this would be wonderful with an additional caramel swirl folded in as well, but I didn't have any extra dulce de leche on hand to try that.

HOW TO MAKE DULCE DE LECHE

Steps:

• Wash the nail and pound it into the top of can of sweetened condensed milk to make 2 small holes on opposite sides of the top. Remove nail.
• Place the can of condensed milk into a small saucepan and pour in water to reach high up the side of the can. Bring water to a boil; reduce heat to low. Simmer milk in the can for 3 to 4 hours. Milk will slowly turn light to medium brown and become thicker as it cooks. Add more water as it boils down.
• Remove lid from can and pour dulce de leche into a bowl. Whisk to break up any lumps and mix thicker caramel from the bottom into the rest of the syrup.
