What is your favorite brand of dulce de leche ice cream? Mine is homemade!
Don't laugh - it really is!! This is one ice cream that turns into the smoothest and the creamiest homemade ice creams ever. Have I told you how easy it is to make? You will be so surprised! I don't think it's cheating but you'll see it's super easy and so heavenly. Can you see how creamy that mix is going to be?
Now I'm using homemade Dulce de leche because I always make it at home but you can use a can of store-bought too. The store-bought is usually a little darker in shade but the homemade does not compromise on the taste at all.
Ice cream or Popsicle making is a great project for the kids too. They can stir as much as they want, add the stick.. lick their fingers... yum!!
My Rhea loves putting the sticks and Aadi has no patience until they are frozen and ready to eat! This is his absolute favorite ice cream.
Ingredients and substitutes
- Whipping cream – The higher the fat, the creamier your ice cream. I use 38% fat content in my whipping cream. With this recipe, I’m not calculating calories, so it’s got to be full-fat cream. You can, of course, use low-fat cream but it will give you ice crystals, which means your ice cream will be a bit icy. Nothing wrong with that just as long as you know what to expect.
- Dulce De Leche – Dulce De Leche is sweetened, which is why we do not add any additional sugar. I always use my homemade dulce de leche recipe. The best thing about a homemade recipe is that you can reduce the sugar. I highly recommend you taste the ice cream before you freeze it to ensure it’s sweet. If necessary add a tablespoon or two of powdered sugar.
- Vanilla – I do not add more vanilla because condensed milk usually has vanilla in it. But feel free to add some more vanilla extract.
Step by step instructions
- Whip the cream to soft peaks.
- Add the dulce de leche and vanilla.
- Combine well.
- Fill the mixture into the popsicle molds.
- Add stick.
- Freeze for at least 3 hours to overnight.
- To un-mold just dip the molds in hot water until it's released.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, absolutely. Homemade is always the best!
You sure can. But chocolate is a strong flavor, so I highly recommend adding no more than 100 grams / 3 oz. You can also add 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder dissolved in ¼ cup hot water. Make sure to cool it before you add it to the cold mixture.
These days I keep alcohol out of homemade ice cream because the kids are small. But my first favorite with dulce de leche is Bacardi rum, then Irish whiskey. I have added my homemade Butterscotch Irish whiskey on a couple of occasions and it has been OMG delish. Bourbon is another great addition.
Well, this dulce de leche is rich, creamy and sweet. You can add a bit of brewed coffee or espresso if you don't mind the added coffee flavor. The bitterness of the coffee does do a great job in cutting down some of the sweetness.
We love making a few things with this ice cream.
Dulce de leche cookie milkshake which basically is lots of ice cream, the kids favorite oreo or chocolate wafers, a little milk and blitz.
Have you tried chocolate waffle ice cream sandwich with this dulce de leche in there? oh yum!
Of course, a dulce de leche ice cream cake should come as no surprise to you - I am a cake decorator after all. I make two layers of my butterscotch cake, split them in half then layer them with a batch of freshly prepared dulce de leche ice cream in a springform pan. Let it freeze overnight for best results.
One of my personal cheats is to serve dulce de leche ice cream with my crepe instead of whipping cream.
