Dulce de leche
Dulce de leche
Dulce de leche is a delicious and creamy caramel-like sauce that originates from Latin America. It's made by slowly heating sweetened condensed milk until it thickens and turns into a rich, golden-brown caramel. It's incredibly versatile and can be used as a topping for desserts like ice cream, pancakes, or waffles, or as a filling in pastries and cakes
Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk 1 can
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Pour the entire contents of the sweetened condensed milk into an oven-safe dish or pie plate.
- Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil, ensuring it is well sealed.
- Place the dish in a larger baking pan or roasting pan and add water to the larger pan, creating a water bath that surrounds the dish with the sweetened condensed milk.
- Carefully place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for about 2 to 3 hours. Check occasionally to ensure the water level hasn't evaporated, adding more hot water if needed.
- The dulce de leche is ready when it reaches a rich, caramel-like color and thick, creamy consistency. Keep in mind that the longer you bake it, the thicker and darker it will become.
- Once done, remove the dish from the oven and carefully remove the foil. Be cautious as the mixture will be extremely hot.
- Give the dulce de leche a good stir with a whisk or spoon until smooth and creamy.
- Let it cool completely before transferring it to a jar or airtight container for storage in the refrigerator. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Now you have a delicious homemade dulce de leche ready to be enjoyed in various desserts or as a delightful topping!
