Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 ½ cups dulce de leche
  • 6 egg yolks
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, warm heavy cream, whole milk, and 1 cup dulce de leche over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes until blended and steaming.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar (if using), vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  3. Gradually add the hot dairy mixture to the egg mixture while whisking continuously to avoid scrambling the eggs.
  4. Return the combined mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly for 6-10 minutes until thickened to custard consistency.
  5. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl placed in an ice-water bath. Stir until cooled to room temperature; then refrigerate for at least one hour.
  6. Churn the chilled custard in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer instructions, adding remaining dulce de leche during the last moments of churning.
  7. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 3-4 hours until firm.
