Wow! This ice cream looks delicious!! I can’t wait to try it! Dulce de leche is one of my favorite things ever!! Right now my favorite thing to do with it is make Mexican chocolate cupcakes with a dulce de leche center and a dulce de leche buttercream!! Yummm! This ice cream would accompany them perfectly! Thanks for the recipe!

Hi Deb!! I´m from Montevideo, Uruguay, which is right next to Argentina, and just a short flight/ferry away from Buenos Aires. Usually Argentinians are famous for their dulce de leche, but in Uruguay its also a big (huge!) deal! here people eat it with EVERYTHING! and want to put in on top or inside everything,even fruit such as bananas (I should know as I´m a pastry chef and most of the cakes/desserts I make have it)
A couple of years ago I made this ice cream, and I can tell you it´s my favorite dulce de leche ice cream recipe EVER! So simple, fast and delicious! The only thing I add are spoonfools of dulce de leche when the ice cream is almost done and I´m about to turn off the ice cream maker. YUMMMMM
Next time I´m in NY I´ll bring you some of our dulce de leche for you to try and some of our recipes!!

I`m from Argentina and own a cafe in Buenos Aires. I bake since I am 13 years old (30 years!) and I am so glad the world is finally discovering dulce de leche. Here it`s as common as peanut butter with so many different brands and textures you wouldn`t believe it.
But there are some uses for ddl nobody should go on withour experimenting: Chocolate or vanilla cake with ddl between layers; dulce de leche ice cream WITH ripples of ddl in it (just add natural ddl to the ice cream); brownies topped with a layer of ddl and another of chantilly cream or italian meringue (or both if you`re feeling OTT); croissants filled with ddl (what we call pastry ddl since it is thicker and so holds it`s shape better); dulce de leche mousse: just mix a pot of dulce de leche with a pot of half whipped cream and pop it in the fridge for a couple of hours.
Thank you for an incredible website!

Made this last weekend, and had it with warm Nonfat gingersnaps from David’s page. Nirvana, bliss, choirs of angels singing! This has actually become my favorite ice cream of all time :) Thank you!

How do you think this would pair with Tres Leches Cake- would the cake’s syrupy juices be too much with the ice cream?

Ohhhhhh helado de dulce de leche granizado – the granizado is chocolate shavings in the ice cream – soooo soooo good! I wish I had some dulce de leche right now!

being an argentine I appreciated your simple approach to dulce de leche ice cream. I make a less simple dulce de leche marscopone gelato that I LOVE! In argentina all the flavors of ice cream are based on this simple base which I adore – we cal it 33 flavors of dulce de leche (with almonds, chocolate etc). Actually as a country they just do food right – where the corner bar in a working class neighborhood will whip up fresh handmade provolone and mozzeralla stuffed gnoccis with a 3 color pepper ragout all served with impeccable service for say $3? ahhh so looking forward to our next visit!

and by the way you can actually even find nestle dulce de leche in of all places walmarts in areas with big latino populations (I know sort of disgusting and sorta of amazing – the only reason I ever step foot into walmart – strange but true). It is also easy to make (though time consuming) alton brown has a recipe. My dad’s best friend had 8 daughters just so they could all stir the dulce de leche a certain amount of time each for best results (There is a commitment to good dld eh?)
oh and making it with cans of condensed milk, in my opinion, is subpar!

thanks again you are amazing!!
