Rosie Makes Only The Bestest Ice Cream EVER! Dulce De Leche Ice Cream.

Oh my!

Now that's some ice cream.

It is a well known fact that

Rosie loves her ice cream.
So when I came across a recipe for Dulce de Leche Ice Cream,
I was on it like a monkey on a cupcake.

First I made my own dulce de leche.

Sweetness of milk.

And this just ain't any dulce de leche.

I ain't stickin' a can of sweetened condensed milk

in boiling water and leaving it for a few hours,

possibly to explode.

I will be tenderly watching over a simmering pot of whole milk.

Yes.

Rosie actually bought WHOLE milk for this project.

And I cooked the whole milk with sugar and vanilla 

for something like three hours,

until I was rewarded with this caramelly delight -

dulce de leche.

Dulce de Leche

2 qt. whole milk

2 cups sugar

1 tsp kosher salt

1 TB vanilla

Mix all over medium heat until sugar dissolves.

Add 1 tsp baking soda.

Continue cooking over low heat

until mixture bubbles along edges.

You don't want a boil.

Just a bubble.

Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 - 3 1/2 hours.

Until you get a nice brown color.

Strain through a sieve, pressing.

Yield:  2 cups

Refrigerate.

Now, make the ice cream.

Dulce de Leche Ice Cream

Note:  Rosie is adapting a recipe to allow 

for what she has on hand.

14 oz. skim milk

10 oz. heavy cream

1 lb. (about 1 2/3 cup) dulce de leche

Bring skim and cream just to a boil.

Remove from heat.

Whisk in dulce de leche until dissolved.

Add in 1 tsp vanilla.

Chill mixture.

Process in ice cream machine.

Add in 1 cup chopped pecans at the end.

Freeze.

This made about a quart of ice cream.

Just about the most delicious ice cream ever!

One can never have too many pictures of ice cream.

It's Dulce de Licious!

Enjoy.

And you're welcome!
