Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup dulce de leche
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and half of the dulce de leche. Heat over medium-low until warm but not boiling.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks until pale and frothy.
- Slowly pour about one cup of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously to temper them.

- Pour into serving bowls or one large dish, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface, and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight.
