This dulce de leche ice cream is unbelievably creamy, rich, silky smooth, and swirled with ribbons of sweet caramelized dulce de leche in every bite. It tastes like something you’d order from a fancy ice cream shop, but it’s surprisingly easy to make at home.

If you love caramel desserts, this homemade ice cream is absolutely dangerous.

Cade has been obsessed with dulce de leche ever since serving a mission in Brazil years ago where they call it Doce De Leite. He LOVES ice cream and while on his mission, they ate a lot of Doce de Leite and leite condensada. He even ate it on his oatmeal occasionally. Gross.

I love making anything that is Brazilian because I know that Cade will adore it. Have you tried our pao de quejo or our torta de limão? Holy moly, yum!

What is Dulce de Leche?

Dulce de leche is a rich caramel-like sauce made by slowly cooking milk and sugar until thick, creamy, and deeply caramelized.

Unlike traditional caramel sauce, which is made from sugar and water, dulce de leche has a richer, creamier flavor thanks to the milk.

Ingredients You’ll Need

You only need 6 simple ingredients to make this ultra creamy homemade ice cream.

  • Dulce de Leche: Adds deep caramelized sweetness and creates those signature ribbons throughout the ice cream.
  • Whole Milk: Keeps the ice cream smooth and scoopable.
  • Egg Yolks: Create a rich custard base and silky texture.
  • Sugar: Adds sweetness and helps keep the ice cream soft.
  • Heavy Cream: Creates the rich creamy base for the ice cream.
  • Salt: Balances the sweetness and deepens the flavor.

How to Make Homemade Dulce de Leche Ice Cream

  1. Make the Custard Base: Heat the milk and 1 can of the dulce de leche until smooth and very hot, but not boiling.

Simple Southern Sweet Cream Biscuits Recipe

Sweet Cream Biscuits are a flaky biscuit made with heavy cream! This is the BEST biscuit you’ll ever make – completely from scratch and very easy to make. Using simple ingredients like flour, butter, baking powder, sugar and cream you’ll be busting out tender biscuits for Sunday brunch every weekend!

My favorite way to enjoy these biscuits is to make my famous strawberry shortcake (I have the easiest tip for the strawberries that makes strawberry shortcake the best summer dessert!) or with a little swipe of freezer jam on a lazy weekend morning.

Why This Recipe Won’t Fail

Cream Biscuits are the perfect biscuit, especially if you’re not used to making biscuits from scratch. They’ve got a sugary, crunchy outside and a soft and fluffy inside.

The heavy cream makes the difference! The fat from heavy cream makes these biscuits soft and moist because the water doesn’t evaporate out as quickly as milk.

Unsalted Butter is king!! During baking, the water in the butter evaporates into steam, this steam leaves behind air pockets that contribute to the craveable flaky texture of a biscuit! 

Ingredients in Southern Sweet Cream Biscuits

  • Heavy Whipping Cream: This is one of the most important ingredients in a sweet cream biscuit. It adds liquid to combine the dry ingredients AND adds fat required for a tender and moist biscuit.
  • Flour: I always use all purpose flour because it’s simple and has the correct protein for a flaky biscuit. See below for self rising substitute.
  • Sugar: We are making sweet biscuits so a hint of sweet is essential. I especially love the crunchy texture on top with the sanding or turbinado sugar.
  • Baking Powder: Give those babies height!
  • Butter: Bringing the fat and the chemistry behind flaky layers.
  • Egg: Adds a little richness so the biscuits bake up soft and tender.
  • Salt: Just enough to balance the sweetness and bring out the flavor.
  • Egg White: Brushed on top for that pretty golden shine.
  • Sanding Sugar: The sparkling, sweet crunch that makes them feel extra special.

How to Make Sweet Cream Biscuits

  1. Prep: Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk: Whisk together the dry ingredients.
  3. Toss: Toss the butter in the dry ingredient until well coated. Use a pastry cutter to mix in the butter.
  4. Cream: Beat the egg into the heavy cream and stir into the dry ingredients until combined. Mixture will be wet.
  5. Fold and Press: Turn the dough out onto a floured
