No Churn Dulce de Leche Ice Cream
Description
This ice cream requires only two main ingredients: cold heavy cream whipped to stiff peaks and dulce de leche, a sweet caramel-like sauce. The dulce de leche is gently folded into the whipped cream to maintain its airy texture. The mixture is spread into a loaf pan, covered, and frozen for at least six hours or overnight to set fully. The result is a creamy dessert that does not require churning but still delivers a rich texture and pronounced caramel flavor from the dulce de leche.
The ice cream’s dense sweetness means it is best served in small portions. It is suitable for straightforward preparation at home, especially when an ice cream machine is not available. Adding hot fudge sauce on top is an optional enhancement for those wanting extra indulgence.
For a homemade alternative to store-bought dulce de leche, sweetened condensed milk can be slow-cooked in a crock pot until caramelized, yielding similar flavor and texture.
Ingredients
- 1 pint heavy cream cold
- 26 ounces dulce de leche (two 13.4 ounce cans)
Instructions
- Whip the cream to stiff peaks. You can do this with electric beaters, but I like to do it in my food processor, just watch it carefully because it only takes a minute or so.
- Blend the dulce de leche into the whipped cream. Again I find the food processor is easiest. I just pulsed it several times to combine.
- Spread the mixture into a loaf pan and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Scoop and enjoy! (Start with small portions, it's rich!)
Notes
- Freeze the ice cream for at least six hours or preferably overnight for best firmness and texture.
- Serve small portions due to the richness of the dulce de leche flavor.
- Optional additions like hot fudge sauce can enhance the dessert for extra indulgence.
- If dulce de leche is unavailable, you can make it at home by slow-cooking sweetened condensed milk in a crock pot until caramelized.
