Dulce De Leche Ice Cream (With Real Dulce De Leche)

I found this on an Ice Cream Recipe Exchange site. Find the original at http://frozentreats.blogspot.com/2008/09/dulce-de-leche.html. I made the Dulce de leche posted on the site (I posted it on Recipezaar too). Cook time is freeze time. I posted the directions for both firm dulce de leche and pourable dulce de leche. If you're making your own dulce de leche, reserve the 1 2/3 cups while it's still "liquid-y" and cook the rest as desired.
