Dulce De Leche Swiss Roll

DDL again? Yup! I am using the last bit of DDL in my fridge for this swiss roll.
I am using this recipe, except that I replaced the red bean to Dulce De Leche.

DDL Cream
150ml whipping cream, cold
80g DDL

1. Put DDL into mixing bowl & put in a bit of cream. On low speed, mix to combine, adding more gradually. When all the whipping cream has been added in, turn to high speed and beat until soft peaks.

Dulce De Leche Loaf

After doing bakes using DDL as ingredient, I am curious to know how does a DDL loaf tastes like? Take a look at my loaf...

Does the pattern on the loaf reminds you of the golden crown on 'Sun WuKong's' head?

Verdict: Slightly brownish bread with a soft texture. Sad to say the DDL taste is minimal. I should be more liberal when adding my DDL next time! Overall, the bread is sweet with a bit of milky taste.

Jess (from Jess Kitchen) gave me a can of DDL & her whipped cream cake last Sun. Her cream cake reminds me of Sara Lee cake. Very fragrant & creamy! Thanks Jess for the cake, DDL & not forgetting the loaf tin that you lent me (I'm going to get my own this wk! Hahaha)!

Jess & I won these gifts in a Valentine Giveaway hosted by Veronica of Quay Po Cooks! The earrings are handmade by Veronica herself. Very sweet & beautiful right? Thanks Veronica! Hope we can meet up soon.

Dulce De Leche

Yippee... I finally made my own Dulce De Leche!

I heard so much about DDL & saw bloggers using it as an ingredient in their bakes. I got so curious about how DDL tastes. The only thing that hold me back from trying till now is the process of making DDL. Why? Because this can of condensed milk needs to be simmer in a big pot of water for 3-4hrs & frequent checks need to be done to prevent the water from drying up. What happens if it runs dry? It will EXPLODE ! Oh dear, I am not ready to have a DDL ceiling in my kitchen ;P

I finally pluck up my courage to try making DDL & I am glad I did. It is not as difficult as I thought initially. Here it goes,

1) You need to purchase a can of full cream sweetened condensed milk from milkmaid from any supermarket.

2) Put the can of condensed milk into a big pot of water. Bring it to a boil & lowered it into a simmer. Ensure that water covers about 2cm above the can.

3) Simmered the can for 3-4hrs. Check on the water level so that it does not get dry up.

4) Let the can of milk cool down in the pot until the water is warm. Fished it out & let the can cool completely before opening it. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN A HOT OR WARM CAN!
