Dulce de Leche Creami

A Sweet and Creamy Caramel Treat

If you're a caramel lover or just someone who can never say no to a scoop of ice cream, you’re going to fall in love with this Dulce de Leche Creami. It's smooth, rich, and full of that deep caramel flavor that only dulce de leche can bring. And the best part? It takes just a few simple ingredients and your Ninja Creami to make a dessert that tastes like it came straight from a boutique ice cream shop.

The creamy base is made with milk and a generous swirl of dulce de leche, balanced by just a touch of sea salt to bring everything together. Whether you're looking for a weeknight indulgence or something impressive to serve after dinner, this recipe is incredibly easy to whip up—once you let it freeze, of course.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Rich caramel flavor

  Dulce de leche gives the ice cream a sweet, toasty flavor that's deeper and more luxurious than regular caramel.

• Incredibly smooth texture

  Using whole milk and the Ninja Creami's Ice Cream and Re-Spin settings creates that ultra-creamy consistency you want in a frozen dessert.

• Simple ingredients

  No eggs, no cream, no long custard process—just three ingredients and a quick warm-up before freezing.

• Perfect for make-ahead

  Mix it the night before, freeze, and have a ready-to-spin pint waiting whenever your sweet tooth kicks in.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 cups whole milk

  Whole milk gives the best texture, but you can substitute 2% if needed. Avoid skim milk or non-dairy options unless you're using a tested alternative base.

• 1/2 cup Dulce de Leche

  Use a high-quality jarred dulce de leche for best flavor and texture.

• 1 teaspoon sea salt

  This balances the sweetness and enhances the caramel flavor.

How to Make Dulce de Leche Creami

Step 1: Warm the milk

Start by gently warming the milk on the stove or in the microwave until it's warm to the touch. You don’t need it to be hot or boiling—just warm enough to help the dulce de leche dissolve smoothly.

Step 2: Mix

Whisk in the dulce de leche and sea salt until everything is fully combined. The mixture should be uniform with no streaks of caramel left.

Step 3: Freeze

Pour the mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container. Seal with the lid and place in the freezer for at least 24 hours. Make sure it's on a flat surface to freeze evenly.

Step 4: Spin

Once the base is fully frozen, remove it from the freezer and place it into the Ninja Creami machine. Spin once using the Ice Cream setting.

Step 5: Re-spin with extra swirl

For an extra indulgent touch, add a spoonful of dulce de leche right in the center of the pint. Run it again using the Re-Spin setting. This not only makes the texture even creamier but gives you those delicious pockets of caramel throughout.

Step 6: Serve

Scoop and enjoy immediately. The texture should be soft, creamy, and totally dreamy. If you like, you can top it with a drizzle of extra caramel or a sprinkle of sea salt.

Tips for Creami Success

• Don’t skip the 24-hour freeze

  The base needs to be completely frozen solid for the Creami to work its magic.

• Use the Re-Spin

  If the texture is crumbly after the first spin, Re-Spin once or even twice. It makes a huge difference.

• Add-ins work well here

  You can fold in crushed cookies, chocolate chips, or even chopped nuts after spinning for a custom twist.

• Store leftovers right in the pint

  Just level off the top, re-seal, and freeze again. You can re-spin it later as needed.
