Dulce De Leche Ice Cream and Affogato Ingredients
- 4 egg yolks
- ½ cup sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup (220g) milk
- 1 ½ cups (360g) heavy cream
- 1 vanilla bean or ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup dulce de leche (for base)
- 1/3 cup dulce de leche (for swirl)
How To Make Dulce De Leche Ice Cream and Affogato
- Prepare the Base: In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks with sugar and salt.
- Heat the Cream: In a saucepan, combine milk, heavy cream, and vanilla. Heat until almost boiling, then remove from heat.
- Temper Eggs: Gradually whisk in ½ cup of the hot cream mixture into the yolks to temper them.
- Cook Custard: Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring until it thickens (175°F).
- Chill: Strain through a sieve and let cool. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
- Churn: Churn the custard with 1/3 cup dulce de leche in an ice cream maker.
- Freeze with Swirls: Transfer to a container, swirl in the remaining dulce de leche, and freeze for at least 2 hours.
- Make Affogato: Serve with a shot of espresso poured over the ice cream.
Recipe Tips
- Pour Slowly: Add the hot milk to the eggs very slowly. This stops the eggs from cooking too fast and getting lumpy.
- Keep Stirring: Stir the mix all the time when it’s on the stove. This stops it from sticking and cooks it evenly.
- Check Temperature: Use a thermometer to make sure the mix is at 175°F. This is the right heat for the ice cream mix to thicken right.
- Cool Down: Let the mix cool down all the way before you put it in the fridge. This makes the ice cream smooth.
- Swirl Right: When you add the dulce de leche, use a knife to swirl it in gently. This makes pretty swirls and keeps it from mixing in too much.
How To Serve It
Serve this ice cream in a coffee cup or small bowl. Scoop the ice cream, make a small well in the center with the back of a spoon, and pour a hot espresso shot into the well.
How To Store It
Store the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. It will keep well for up to 1 month. To serve after storing, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
For The affogato, you should make it fresh.
