Dulce De Leche Pastry Cream Food

DULCE DE LECHE PASTRY CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is light yellow. Whisk in the cornstarch and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the milk, dulce de leche and vanilla seeds, and bring almost to a boil.
• In a thin, steady stream, slowly add all the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Pour it all back into the pan, return to the heat and cook, stirring constantly, until very thick, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until melted and mixed in. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface. Let cool completely, then store in the fridge.
• Beat the pastry cream in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth before using.

DULCE DE LECHE BANANA CREAM DESSERT

Steps:

• Remove the label from UNOPENED can of sweetened condensed milk, place it in a sauce pot, cover the can completely with water and boil for a minimum of two hours with a lid on the pot. Check from time to time and add water as needed to keep the can completely covered with boiling water.
• DO NOT OPEN THE HOT CAN!
• After boiling for a minimum of two hours, remove the pot from heat and place it in the sink, add cold water to the pot to stop the boiling process. Let the tap run so the hot water spills out of the pan and is replaced with cold tap water. Leave the can to cool.
• Whip the cream in a chilled bowl until it is light and fluffy. Set in refrigerator.
• When the can is cool enough to handle, carefully open and spread the Dulce de Leche over the bottom of the crust.
• Add a layer of sliced bananas over the Dulce de Leche.
• Then spread on a layer of whipped cream -- then another layer of sliced bananas. Then add the final layer of whipped cream.
• Dust the top with cocoa powder, chocolate curls, or crushed toffee.
• This is very rich and will serve several people--but you might not want to share! It's that good.
