July 30, 2022 by Heather Smoke Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

The easiest, creamiest, no churn dulce de leche ice cream, with a flavor hinting at salted caramel, and flecked with crunchy toffee bits. This 5-ingredient ice cream comes together in no time! The hardest part is just waiting for it to freeze so you can eat it.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Only 5 Ingredients. Five simple ingredients and five minutes of prep work is all it takes to make a batch of this dulce de leche ice cream.

Easy No Churn Recipe. You don’t need an ice cream maker to make delicious homemade ice cream! You’ll love the rich, creamy texture of today’s recipe, that tastes just as good, if not better than store bought salted caramel ice cream.

Customizable. Instead of the toffee bits, try other add-ins like chopped chocolate, brownie chunks or cookie pieces. You could also add a ripple of fudgy chocolate ganache, like in my peanut butter vanilla fudge ripple ice cream.

See the recipe card at the end of the post for the full ingredients list and instructions.

Ingredients

  • Dulce de Leche. You’ll find dulce de leche on the baking aisle, right next to the sweetened condensed milk. It’s a sweet, milk-based caramel, essentially made by boiling sweetened condensed milk until it caramelizes.
  • Heavy Whipping Cream. The fat in the heavy whipping cream keeps the ice cream smooth, creamy and rich.
  • Vanilla. I used vanilla bean paste in my ice cream, but you can also use vanilla extract.
  • Salt. The salt balances the sweetness in the dulce de leche.
  • Toffee Bits. Adds crunch and texture, and more caramel flavor, as well as little bits of chocolate.

  • Fold in the toffee bits.

  • Step 2 for making dulce de leche ice cream.
  • Step 3 for making dulce de leche ice cream.
  • Step 4 for making dulce de leche ice cream.

Recipe Variations

  • Other Add-ins. Besides toffee, chocolate chips, chopped chocolate, brownie chunks or cookie pieces would all be fantastic in this ice cream.
  • Fudge Ripple. Add a ripple of fudgy dark chocolate ganache.
  • Make it Mocha. Add a tablespoon or two of instant espresso powder for a delicious coffee flavor. The bitterness of the espresso would perfectly balance the sweetness of the dulce de leche.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use caramel sauce instead of dulce de leche?

Yes, you certainly can. A jar of caramel sauce will work just as well as the dulce de leche to sweeten the ice cream and add caramel flavor. If you use a salted caramel sauce, be sure to omit the added salt in the recipe.

Can I make my own dulce de leche?

You can make dulce de leche at home by boiling an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk for 2-3 hours. Make sure the water doesn’t evaporate, and the can is submerged in water the whole time it’s boiling.
