This easy recipe for homemade dulce de leche ice cream is made with milk, heavy cream and store bought dulce de leche. Creamy, dreamy this ice cream is a snap to make and taste like it took hours to make.  I like to make a triple batch and store it snuggled between the frozen veggies in my freezer. No one seems to look there for frozen treats.

Wonderful to serve for a fiesta or great for a ice cream bar I like to serve it with a handful of finely diced pecans for a bit of crunch. When Old El Paso asked me to create a fun recipe using their stand ‘n stuff tortilla shells I knew this was the perfect vessel to hold my creamy dulce de leche ice cream.

I brushed them with melted butter, sprinkled them with piloncillo and crisped them in the oven.  The tortilla becomes crispy, flaky and caramelized from the piloncillo.  A sweet crispy shell is the perfect bowl for a huge scoop of ducle de leche ice cream. Yum!
