Though summer may be nearing its end, the new flavor is the perfect way to enjoy long August days. Culver's Dulce de Leche Fresh Frozen Custard is the latest take on the brand's signature frozen custards. The dish consists of the brand’s [fresh frozen custard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-raspberry-concrete-mixer), layered with pieces of gourmet cheesecake and a drizzle of [old-fashioned salted caramel sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-caramel-frosty). Together, the ingredients mimic the milky, caramel flavor of dulce de leche—a South American caramel that is made by slowly cooking sweetened milk. The new Dulce de Leche Fresh Frozen Custard is available at more than 700 Culver's locations for a limited time.
