This dulce de leche sorbet is my go to dessert when I want something that tastes indulgent but comes together in under an hour. The beauty of making sorbet at home is how affordable it is compared to fancy gelato shops, and you only need basic equipment. Heavy cream brings wonderful richness while also providing fat soluble vitamins that help your body absorb nutrients better. The caramelized sweetness of dulce de leche paired with bright lemon juice creates this perfect balance that keeps people coming back for spoonful after spoonful. Trust me, once you taste homemade sorbet, you'll never look at store bought the same way again.
