Notes

*Use a high-quality vanilla ice cream for the best results. You can also use a non-dairy ice cream, if you like.

**You can use any milk you like in this recipe, but I prefer whole milk for the creamiest shake.

***Use store-bought or homemade dulce de leche. If you're making it yourself, it’s as simple as gently simmering sweetened condensed milk until golden and thick.

Tips:

If your dulce de leche is thin and pourable, you can use it to drizzle in the glass instead of caramel sauce.

Nutritional information does not include optional ingredients.

Storage: While I highly recommend enjoying your dulce de leche milkshake immediately after making it, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. Let the milkshake thaw on the counter for about 20 minutes before enjoying.
