About the Recipe
This is sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami ice cream and so simple to make.
Ingredients
97g Dulce de Leche
300ml Double Cream
1 - 2 tsp soft Sea Salt flakes
3 Tbs Bourbon
Pecan Nuts (optional) for serving
Preparation
Scrape the caramel condensed milk or dulce de leche into the bowl of a freestanding mixer or, if you’re using an electric hand whisk, just into a large bowl
Then add the cream and 1 teaspoon of the salt and whisk until it thickens.
Taste to see if it’s salty enough for you, remembering that the saltiness will be much more muted (as will the sweetness) once it’s frozen
If you want more salt add more to taste and begin whisking slowly while gradually adding half the Bourbon.
Taste again to see if you want to add the rest of the Bourbon.
If so, pour in, whisking gently. .
Give a good fold by hand, using a silicone spatula, then decant into your tubs and put into the freezer for 8 hours or overnight.Â
This ice cream is fairly soft-serve, and will be softer the more Bourbon you use, so there's no need to let it stand out of the freezer before serving, either as it is, or sprinkled with chopped pecans.
