No Churn Dulce de Leche Ice Cream is a discovery of epic proportions…not only is it no churn, meaning you don’t need an ice cream machine to make it, but it takes just 2 ingredients, and it stays perfectly creamy and scoopable even overnight in the freezer. You’re definitely going to scream for this one.
I know I’ve nagged you about getting yourself an ice cream machine. I truly believe it’s a must-have in any kitchen, but I have to say this recipe proves that it’s not absolutely absolutely necessary to get incredible results. This might just be the creamiest, most scoopable ice cream I’ve ever made, and the caramel flavor is unreal. If you’re looking for an easy no-churn recipe that’s reliable and insanely delicious, this is it. It’s a keeper.
The key ingredient, besides cream, is dulce de leche. It’s a Latin American treat that translates as ‘sweet milk’. That is, sweetened milk that’s been gently heated until it literally turns into a thick caramel. You’ll find it next to the sweetened condensed milk in your supermarket, or you can get it from Amazon, here. You’ll need 2 small cans for this recipe.
If you love caramel, this is your dessert, the texture is mind-blowingly smooth, silky and… custardy! I’m racking my poor brain for adjectives here — this is truly unlike anything I’ve ever had before.
It’s even thick and rich when it melts!

No Churn Dulce de Leche Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1 pint cold heavy cream
- 26 ounces dulce de leche, (two 13.4 ounce cans)
Instructions
- Whip the cream to stiff peaks. You can do this with electric beaters, but I like to do it in my food processor, just watch it carefully because it only takes a minute or so.
- Blend the dulce de leche into the whipped cream. Again I find the food processor is easiest. I just pulsed it several times to combine.
- Spread the mixture into a loaf pan and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Scoop and enjoy! (Start with small portions, it's rich!)
Notes
- Keep in mind that this ice cream needs longer to set, I think overnight is best. It will still be perfectly scoopable in the morning.
- IF you're the type that likes to guild the lily, you might consider adding some hot fudge sauce to this ice cream...just saying.
- Can't find dulce de leche and don't have time to get it from Amazon? You can actually make your own using cans of sweetened condensed milk, directions here. And you can make it in your crock pot, too, directions here.

So easy! And it looks delicious!
Love how simple and creamy this ice cream is. Looks gorgeous. Perfect summer treat
You can also make dulce de leche the original way! 3lts milk 1kg sugar, simmer , stirring often , it can take hours, but worth it !!
I’m dying to try that Lucia!
Just 2 ingredients? wow so simple yet so creamy.
Wow! I love that you can do this all in the food processor — and let’s be honest, dulce de leche is the bomb! I’m definitely going to have to make this one!
Whipping cream in the food processor is my favorite new kitchen hack, and it makes blending in the dulce de leche so easy, too.
Dulce de leche is my favorite ice cream! This looks so freaking good. I should try to make this!
I’d never had this flavor and now it’s my fave too!
O.M.G.
I have nothing else to say…..

I will add to what Sally said: oh. my. FREAKING. gawd. I have a Fluffy Milk Chocolate Ice Cream that is posting in couple of days and it is built on whipped cream. This is my new favorite idea!
There aren’t enough superlatives to describe this amazing ice cream. You are a genius! The color is gorgeous, the texture looks perfect – and I am drooling! Thank you so much for this – I can’t wait to make it!
