ice-cream sundae
Instructions
- Preheat oven 425F.
- Empty the sweetened condensed milk into an oven-proof dish; sprinkle with some salt and tightly cover it with foil. I used a glass loaf pan, but a pie dish works too!
- Place the covered dish in a larger roasting or casserole pan and fill it up with water until it reaches roughly 3/4 of the way up the covered dish to create a water bath.
- Bake for 60-90 minutes checking every 30 minutes on the water level and adding more as needed. Mine took about 1 hour.
- Dulce de leche will be ready when it looks brown and caramel-like. Carefully remove from the oven and whisk to smooth out. Let cool before storing in a jar with a lid.
- To assemble sundaes: Toast coconut flakes on a skillet over medium heat until fragrant and golden brown. This will only take a few minutes so keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t burn. Remove from pan immediately.
- Scoop ice cream into 4 cups or small bowls, crumble cookies for texture, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes and drizzle warm dulce de leche on top.
Notes To add extra texture, nilla wafers, graham crackers or any standard crisp cookie would work. Dulce de Leche will save in a cover jar for up to 3 weeks in the electric refrigerator or frozen if needed. Dulce de leche can be warmed up on low in the microwave or on the stovetop in a sauce pan with water. Uncover jar, and gently cook in a water system bathroom. When the dulce de leche is cold and compact, it ’ sulfur perfect to spread on bananas, apples, sweet breads ( like banana or zucchini ) or even toast. 7.8.1.2 70http://sweetpoppyseed.com/dulce-de-leche-sundaes/
