Sea Salt Dulce De Leche Ice Cream Ice Cream Maker Recipes

Steps:

• Separate the eggs into two good sized bowls.
• Beat the egg whites until stiff.
• Mix the egg yolks and sugar until thick.
• Slowly bring the milk to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
• Pour the hot milk into yolk/sugar mixture and mix well.
• Pour milk/yolk/sugar mixture back into pot and heat on medium until thicker to make a custard (DON'T LET IT BOIL! also, if you can't get it to a custard thickness,just get it as thick as you can).
• Pour custard in with beaten egg whites and mix well.
• Add sea salt (keep adding salt until it tastes salty sweet, but be careful not to add to much).
• Put mixture in fridge to cool.
• Once cool, add cream and vanilla .
• (Optional) Add 12 drops of blue coloring, and 3 drops of green coloring.
• Freeze, following your ice cream maker's instructions.
• If you don't have an ice cream maker pour mixture into 1 or 2 metal cake pans and set in freezer. Let sit until edges become firm, then remove and mix. Repeat until uniformly frozen.

Steps:

• In a 3 quart heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring milk and cream just to a boil over moderate heat. Remove from the heat and whisk in the dulce de leche until it is completely incorporated into the mixture.
• Whisk in the vanilla extract.
• Transfer pan to fridge to cool (be sure to put a potholder or trivet under the bottom so you don't crack the glass shelf). Refrigerate uncovered for about an hour, stirring occasionally. After the hour, cover the pan and chill the mixture for 3 to 6 hours, or until very cold.
• Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker (my Cuisinart took ~30 minutes, but follow the instructions for whatever type maker you have). A minute or two before the ice cream has fully firmed up, toss in the mix-in you choose.
• Transfer ice cream to an airtight container to ripen for at least 1 hour.
• When ready to serve, scoop ice cream into bowls and sprinkle lightly with sea salt (flakes are best, but the coarse-grain sea salt works too). Enjoy!
• NOTE: The original recipe calls for the toasted chopped pecans, but I like to use a lesser amount of Valrhona dark chocolate crunch perles that I find at Whole Foods Market instead. I'm sure this would be wonderful with an additional caramel swirl folded in as well, but I didn't have any extra dulce de leche on hand to try that.

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the cream, milk and 2/3 cup of the dulce de leche.
• Stir mixture constantly until well blended, about 5 minutes.
• In a heatproof mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar and salt.
• Gradually add the hot cream mixture and whisk until they are fully incorporated.
• Transfer the mixture to a saucepan.
• Cook over medium-low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the custard thickens, about 10 minutes; do not boil.
• Pour the custard through a cheesecloth lined strainer set over a clean bowl.
• This will strain any lumps and leave a smooth custard.
• Nestle the custard bowl in a larger one filled halfway with ice and water and cool the custard to room temperature.
• Stir this mixture occasionally.
• Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
• Transfer chilled custard to an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• At the end of the freezing stage, drizzle the remaining 1/3 cup dulce de leche into the churning ice cream to get the swirled effect.
• Harden off/freeze finished ice cream until firm, 3 to 4 hours.

Steps:

• Pour condensed milk into a medium saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick and golden-brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, in another medium saucepan over medium-low heat, bring cream, milk and cinnamon stick to a simmer. Remove cinnamon stick.
• Slowly pour condensed milk into large bowl. Gradually whisk in cream mixture, then vanilla. Cover; refrigerate until cold. Stir mixture. Transfer to ice cream maker; freeze according to manufacturer's directions.

Steps:

• Place sweetened, condensed milk into the top of a double boiler. Cook over simmering water for 1½ to 2 hours, stirring every five minutes, until a golden caramel color. Chill half of mixture. Cool the other half to room temperature.
• Heat 2 cups of milk almost to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Whisk eggs in a bowl. Slowly pour about one half cup hot milk into eggs, whisking rapidly to prevent eggs from cooking. Whisk eggs into remaining milk in saucepan. Stir constantly over medium-low heat until custard thickens. It should heavily coat a spoon. Do not allow custard to boil.
• Remove from heat and stir in the room-temperature caramel, add the remaining 1 cup milk and the vanilla. Refrigerate overnight or until very cold.
• Pour ice cream base into an ice-cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions. When ice cream is thick and almost done, dollop in chilled caramel into mixture, allowing it to drip in ribbons from a spoon. Continue processing until done. Freeze if you can wait! Enjoy!
