4 servings

4
  • 10.5 oz (300 g) creamy dulce de leche
  • ¾ cup (200 ml) heavy cream, well chilled
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch of fine sea salt
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Chill a mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer for 10 minutes to help the cream whip better.

  2. 2

    Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl and beat on low speed until it begins to thicken slightly.

  3. 3

    Add the dulce de leche, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Continue mixing on low speed until smooth, light, and fully combined.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust sweetness with powdered sugar if desired. Refrigerate until ready to use as a filling or topping.

💡 Chef's Tip

For a fluffier texture, whip the cream to soft peaks before folding in the dulce de leche. This filling keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days covered with plastic wrap.
