Fruitta De Busca Ingredients

Method

Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base Mixture

    In a medium saucepan, combine whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.

  2. 2

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks until they are light and frothy.

  3. 3

    Temper the Egg Yolks

    Slowly pour a small amount of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously. This will temper the yolks and prevent them from scrambling.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

  5. 5

    Add Vanilla

    Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Final Assembly

  1. 10

    Combine All Components

    In a large bowl, combine the cooled base mixture with the banana dulce de leche and the macerated peach mixture. Stir until well combined.
