How to Make Sea Salt Dulce De Leche Ice Cream Ice Cream Maker

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the dulce de leche, heavy cream, and milk. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and warm. Do not boil.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and thick.
  4. Temper the egg yolk mixture by slowly whisking in a small amount of the warm dulce de leche mixture. Then, gradually whisk the tempered egg yolks into the remaining dulce de leche mixture.
  5. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
  6. Remove from heat and strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Discard the solids.
  7. Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  9. Once chilled, churn the custard in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  10. During the last minute of churning, add the toasted pecans (or dark chocolate crunchies).
  11. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to harden.
  12. Before serving, sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
