METHOD
Dulce de leche
- Place the sealed tin of sweetened condensed milk in a perforated steam container. Place in the steam oven and Steam at 100°C for 3 hours.
- Remove from the steam oven and allow to cool before mixing through the ice cream.
Crème anglaise ice cream
- Combine the egg, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla in a bowl, mix well. Whisk in the cream and milk. Place into an unperforated steam container, cover and place into the steam oven. Steam at 80°C for 1 hour, or until the mixture thickens.
- Remove the custard from the steam oven, rest for 5 minutes and whisk until smooth. Refrigerate to cool.
- Churn the mixture in an ice cream machine according to its instructions. Alternatively, freeze in a shallow container, stirring often to break up the crystals. Freeze for at least 2 hours before mixing with the dulce de leche.
Hazelnut praline
- Line a baking tray with baking paper. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan combine the sugar and water. Bring to the boil on high heat, induction setting 8. Turn down to medium heat, induction setting 6 and cook without stirring until it starts to caramelise.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and when it becomes a medium golden colour, add the hazelnuts. Pour immediately onto the lined baking tray and spread out quickly. Leave to cool completely.
- Use a mortar and pestle or food processor to crush the praline to a crumble consistency or break into large chunks.
Dulce de leche ice cream
- Gently combine the dulce de leche and the vanilla ice cream in a large bowl. Place back into a container and freeze until firm.
- Serve with broken pieces of the hazelnut praline.
Hints and tips
- Dulce de leche is traditionally made by stirring milk and sugar on the stove for hours. This method using steam technology gives you perfect results, without all the hard work.
- Cooking the anglaise at 80°C prevents the egg from curdling. Use this recipe to make pouring custard for your favourite desserts.
