Since Asda is good/evil enough to have Haagen-Dazs on special offer (£2 for a tub, om nom nom nom), we seem to have accumulated enough ice cream for a small army (or four girls)
My favourite of these flavours is the Dulce du Leche, which is a caramelly swirled ice cream, and is possibly better than the ice creams from the Ice Cream Factory. I was bored interested to find out what exactly this deliciousness was, so it was off to Wikipedia, where I found that it is a milk based syrup, and is far too delicious (OK, so Wikipedia didn’t say that last bit. I did.)
Anyway, I thought about making it myself from this recipe, but kept forgetting to buy the condensed milk. Max came home yesterday and brought me a present of a can of condensed milk. What can I say, I’m easily pleased. So I popped the can in a saucepan of water, jabbed some holes in the top and waited. After a few hours, I was bored of waiting, so I had to open it up.
This was the top of the can, which looked a bit disappointing. I scooped it out into a separate bowl, and then I hit this:
Delicious caramelly goodness!
I ended up whisking both bowls together, which made the dulce du lece slightly more runny – ideal, because I want to put this onto ice cream.
I don’t think this can really be called cooking, but its damn yummy anyway!
whoah condensed milk with haagen daz…. it can’t go wrong! yummy yummy! i personally love choc choc chip. it’s a childhood favorite. :)
@gilda – I always loved condensed or evaporated milk with fruit cocktail. Or with my nanas sherry trifle at Christmas. Nom nom!
Hmm your recipe link seems no longer to be working miss Hayley, can you send it to me?
@rockmonkey – I’ve fixed it now!
