Helado de Dulce de Leche

Ingredientes

• 2 tins condensed milk
• 5 egg yolks
• 2 cups cream
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 vanilla bean (cut in half & beans removed)
• .5 cup castor sugar
• pinch salt

Preparación

1. 1

   --- Dulce de Leche ---

2. 2

   Place the 2 tins of condensed milk in a saucepan of water - insuring the water is a couple inches above the top of the tins.

3. 3

   Simmer gently for 3 hours, ensuring water is completely covering the tins.

4. 4

   Allow to cool in tins and you have made some delicious dulce de leche!

5. 5

   --- Ice Cream ---

6. 6

   Mix together the egg yolks, 1 tin of dulche de leche and vanilla. Set aside.

7. 7

   In a large saucepan add the sugar, salt, milk, vanilla pod & cream. Stir to combine and heat on medium heat until just below boiling.

8. 8

   Pour 1/2 the heated milk mixture into the egg mix and stir to combine. Place egg mixture back into saucepan with remaining milk mixture and heat until it thickens and the mixture coats the back of a spoon.

9. 9

   Strain through a sieve and allow to cool to room temp and place in fridge for minimum of 2 hours - I usually leave mine overnight.

10. 10

    Once mixture is sufficiently cool then churn according to ice-cream machine instructions. I did this one for 50 minutes.

11. 11

    Meanwhile, whisk remaining tin of dulche de leche with a little cream until its a runny smooth caramel texture.

12. 12

    Once ice cream is churned scoop into a freezer proof container and ripple the dulche de leche through it. Cover and freeze for minimum 2 hours until set. *see tips for creating ripple affect*
