How to Make Dulce De Leche Ice Cream

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, gently warm 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, and 2/3 cup dulce de leche.
  2. Stir constantly until well combined, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until pale and slightly thickened.
  4. Gradually whisk in the warm cream mixture from step 2 until fully incorporated.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a clean saucepan.
  6. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 10 minutes). Do not boil!
  7. Pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl to remove any lumps. This will result in a silky smooth texture.
  8. Place the strained custard in a bowl, set the bowl in a larger bowl filled halfway with ice water, and stir occasionally until completely cool to room temperature.
  9. Refrigerate the custard for at least 1 hour, or until thoroughly chilled.
  10. Churn the chilled custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  11. During the last minute of churning, drizzle in the remaining 1/3 cup of dulce de leche for beautiful swirls.
  12. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and harden in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours before serving.
