On The Lookout For A Dulce De Leche Buttercream Recipe
Baking By Rodneyck Updated 16 May 2006 , 2:00am by mrskennyprice
You could buy dulce de leche from the ethnic isle in the grocery store. I like those better. Add to taste to the buttercream.
I always make almost everything from scratch but putting a can in the oven or stove i just cannot do it. Maybe when i buy a pressure cooker.....
Thanks ashianadotkom!
I have seen the cans pop up in the stores now, more commonly available. Homemade, you can boil it in a pot of water for 2 to 4 hours or take out of the can and let simmer in a double boiler, a bit safer than heating a can I would think, lol.
I will have to experiment on using it in a buttercream. Since it is already sweet, adding more powdered sugar to it could be a problem, which is why I was hoping for a recipe just to see how they got around this. I have seen some use egg yolks with a bit a flour and make sort of a custard/curd, very interesting. I thought maybe the same could be done to form a sort of Italian meringue dulce de leche buttercream. To the lab, errr kitchen, I go...lol.
try making a meringue buttercream - it's less sweet and may be a really nice base for adding the dulce de leche OR I was thinking about adding some caramel ice cream topping to either BC or meringue buttercream....please post with your results!!
