Ingredients
  • 1 Can Condensed Sweetened Milk
  • ¼ Cup Sugar (Substitute ¼ Cup Maltitol)
  • 3 Cups Heavy Cream (35% or More Milk Fat)
  • 2 Tablespoons Pure Vanilla Extract
Instructions
  1. Remove the label from the can of condensed milk. Choose a pot large enough to contain and cover the can. Place the unopened can of milk in the pot and add water to cover it. Heat over medium high heat until the water comes to a slight boil. Reduce heat to a very slow simmer.
  2. The can needs to be simmered, covered in water, for 3 hours. It needs to be a very slight simmer ... we don't want to overheat it. Just keep the burner as low as possible to achieve the slight simmer and all will go well.
  3. If the can swells, remove it from the water and punch a hole in the top to release the pressure. Then, continue the simmer by setting the can in the pot, top up ... but do not allow water to enter the can. In all cases add water as needed over time.
  4. After the 3 hour simmer remove the can from the water and allow it to cool to room temperature.
  5. Add all ingredients and the contents of the boiled can (taste the caramel you made) to a bowl and whisk briskly until well-blended. If you have the time, place the mixed ice cream base in your freezer for 45 minutes or so to cool the mix. This will help produce a better initial freeze in your ice cream maker.
  6. Pour into the bowl of an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Remove the dasher from the freshly made ice cream and place into your freezer for at least 2 hours before serving to harden.
