Equipment

  • Ice cream maker

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 14 ounce cans of dulce de leche if making your own, you will need about 1 ¾ cups
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsweetened coconut

Instructions

  • Slowly simmer the milk and cream in  saucepan over medium heat, bringing it just up to a boil. Remove from heat and whisk in the dulce de leche until fully combined. Whisk in vanilla and salt and transfer to a bowl. Cover and chill completely at least four hours, but I always chill overnight.
  • Put the cold mixture into your ice cream maker, and let it do it's magic. When it is nearly firm, fold in the toasted coconut. Pack into freezer safe containers and freeze until firm.

Notes

Goes without saying, but store ice cream in freezer after churning. To serve, let the ice cream sit out on counter about 10 minutes before scooping.
