Dulce de leche ice-cream

Dulce de leche has experienced an increased popularity outside Argentina these last few years, and it's easy to see why. The process of slowly cooking milk results in a unique caramel colour and a rich, nutty taste. We guarantee this heavenly ice-cream won't last long in your freezer!
