Caramelized Milk Ice Creams

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Trader Joe's New Dulce de Leche Ice Cream is Perfect for Summer

— March 29, 2024 — Lifestyle
Trader Joe's is getting a head start on ice cream season with the debut of its new Dulce de Leche Ice Cream.

For those unfamiliar, dulce de leche is essentially caramelized milk that's made by slowly heating sugar and milk over the course of several hours. This creamy, yet sweet flavor profile lends itself perfectly to ice cream, which is why Trader Joe's has based its latest pint around this flavor.

Trader Joe's Dulce de Leche Ice Cream is made by a supplier who starts with creamy caramel ice cream and then adds in a swirl of milky, Dulce de Leche-style caramel. The result is an ice cream that's rich enough to stand on its own, but also pairs perfectly when used in milkshakes, sundaes, and more.
