Dulce de Leche Torte (Volador)Marcus Nilsson

The citrusy flavor of the juicy South American naranjilla, which resembles a small orange, shines bright in a cool, sweet-sharp counterpoint to the volador. Frozen fruit purées—increasingly available in a wide range of varieties—are a great way to introduce yourself to fruits that are difficult to find fresh. Bonus: Making ice cream with them is a breeze.

Cooks' notes:

•Custard can be chilled up to 24 hours.
•Ice cream keeps 1 week.
