Dulce de Leche Straciatella

Dulce de Leche Straciatella

Prep time: Cook time: Total time:

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt or Diamond kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 ¼ cup dulce de leche (see recipe)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 cup melted dark chocolate

Instructions:

  1.  Add the cream, milk, ¼ cup sugar, vanilla from bean & whole bean, and salt to a heavy bottomed sauce pan. 
  2.  Bring to gentle boil, whisking, and then turn off the heat.  Cover and steep the vanilla bean in cream mixture for at least 30 minutes. Can refrigerate overnight. 
  3. Meanwhile whisk the corn starch and 3 tablespoons milk in a small bowl to form a slurry.  When cream mixture has cooled or is luke warm on the stove, whisk in the corn starch mixture and heat to a gentle boil. Mixture will thicken to coat the back of a spoon. 
  4. Turn off the heat. Whisk in the dulce de leche and check taste for salt.  If needed, sprinkle a little more sea salt in. 
  5. Strain mixture through a strainer into a large 4 cup measuring cup or bowl.  Remove vanilla bean and discard.  Cover with plastic wrap and put in freezer (briefly) or refrigerator to cool completely.  Can refrigerate overnight.  
  6. Churn dulce de leche base in ice cream freezer according to instructions.  
  7.  While churning, melt chocolate in small ziplock bag in microwave. 30 second intervals until melted.  I use 60% cacao Guiradelli chocolate.  
  8. Before the gelato has finished churning, mine takes about 40 min. in my freezer, prepare the chocolate for the Straciatella.  Cut tiny hole in corner of ziplock and drizzle the chocolate in thin ribbon into the dulce de leche base towards the end of the churn.   
  9.  When finished churning, scoop out gelato and put in quart container.  Freeze until you can't wait any longer, then enjoy!

My favorite tools include an incredible cheese knife, vintage Pyrex bowls, rubber whisks, spatulas and spoons.  But the multi-purpose tool I go to almost every day is the microplane grater.  I use it to shred garlic, grate parmesan cheese, and zest limes, lemons, and oranges.

  4. Once the pans are full, then begin the caramel sauce.
  5. In a large heave bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat, add the brown sugar, corn syrup, sea salt, red pepper flakes, and cayenne. Stir until mixture comes to a boil.
  6. Once it reaches a boil, leave it on the heat, but stop stirring and let it cook and boil for 4 minutes.
  7. After 4 minutes, remove from heat and pour over the 2 roasting pans full of popcorn. Sprinkle with sea salt and red pepper flakes.
  8. Bake in oven for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes to coat all the popcorn with the caramel. Add sprinkles of sea salt and red pepper flakes each time.
  9. Remove from oven and stir every few minutes until caramel corn cools.
  10. Store in an airtight container or ziplock bag for up to 3 weeks....but it won't last that long.

NOTES:

Mixing spicy and sweet, this Spicy Caramel Corn is addictive! Microwave popcorn can be substituted, but freshly popped popcorn from the stovetop is the best!

  • 7 ounces chopped dark chocolate
  • ½ cup candied ginger
  • 1 ½ cup flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon  cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 8 tablespoons butter

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup Steen's Syrup or dark molasses

instructions:

How to cook Chocolate Ginger Molasses Cookies

  1. Chop chocolate into 1/4 inch chunks. Chop or crumble the candied ginger. Set both aside.
  2. In a medium bowl sift together the flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, cocoa powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl beat the butter with the grated ginger until it becomes pale and blended. Add in brown sugar and molasses and beat until combined. Scrape down the bowl and beat again.
  4. In a small bowl combine the baking soda with 2 teaspoons of boiling hot water. Mix half the flour mixture into the butter mixture and add in the dissolved baking soda. Blend in the remaining flour mixture.
  5. Stir in the chocolate and chopped candied ginger. Scoop out half the dough onto a large piece of plastic wrap and pat into a flat loaf. Seal it up and repeat with the remaining dough. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour. Or bag and freeze for baking later.
  6. Heat oven to 325°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or silpat liner. Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and then roll in granulated sugar. Place 2 inches apart and bake on baking sheet 7-9 minutes. Let cool slightly and tranfer to rack to cool completely.

NOTES:

I usually make these cookies around the holidays, but they are wonderful any time of year. A grown-up gingerbread cookie!
