1cupheavy cream
2 14ouncecans of dulce de lecheif making your own, you will need about 1 ¾ cups
1teaspoonvanilla extract
½teaspoonsalt
¾cupunsweetened 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.
