Dulce de Leche Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream

By tulawdog

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 13.4 – 14 oz can dulce de leche
• 1 3 oz bar good dark or semisweet chocolate, rough chopped (I prefer Scharffen Berger 62% or 70%)
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Combine milk and cream in saucepan and bring up to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and whisk in dulce de leche until completely dissolved. Make sure you scrape the bottom of the pot well to get all of the little bits of dulce de leche incorporated. Stir in vanilla and transfer to bowl. Chill bowl until cold either in an ice bath or in the refrigerator overnight.

Pour mixture into ice cream maker and churn until almost firm, then fold in chocolate. Transfer ice cream to an airtight container and freeze until hard.
