What is it made out of?
This easy Dulce de Leche ice cream recipe is made with heavy cream, vanilla beans, sweetened condensed milk, and dulce de leche, and a tiny pinch of sea salt.
I have seen multiple no churn ice cream recipes online but most of them seemed too sweet for my likings… So I of course took matters into my own hands and made something a little less sweet (but still delicious!!)
By using less than the recommended amount of dulce de leche I was able to control the sweetness of this recipe perfectly. On the other hand, the dulce de leche swirls definitely add the necessary sweetness to this no churn homemade ice cream.
