  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 10

Ingredients

Units
  • 1 can (12 fluid oz.) of evaporated milk, chilled all night
  • 1 pound (450 grams) of dulce de leche, I used the canned dulce de leche La Lechera brand available at Latin markets
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whip the evaporated milk with a hand or stand mixer on high speed until thickened, about 4-6 minutes, depending on the mixer’s power. The volume should increase at least twice.
  2. Add the dulce de leche and beat on low speed for 1 minute until fully incorporated. Add cream and beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Watch out for splashes.

  3. In a bowl, put the unflavored gelatin and cover with cold water, stir to wet all the gelatin and let stand for 1 minute, add half a cup of boiling water, and stir 1 minute until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Add the dissolved gelatin (can use a strainer if you are unsure) to the mixture and beat for 1 minute.
