Sweetened Condensed Milk Caramel

“This retains for a month within the fridge. But it surely received’t final that lengthy.”

Dulce De Leche. Easy, wealthy and thick with a deep caramel taste, this South American export is the king of all caramels. The literal translation of “dulce de leche” is “sweet of milk”. And that’s precisely what that is – milk and sugar that’s been gradual cooked.

Constituted of scratch utilizing milk and sugar, it requires loads of consideration for the primary hour to verify the caramel on the backside doesn’t burn, then an extra 2 hours of cooking (and checking….and cooking….and checking…). So when you’re extra like me, this easy model made with condensed milk in a gradual cooker will enchantment to you. That is how this goes down:

1. Place sealed cans of condensed milk in gradual cooker. You don’t even must take the labels off. (3 seconds)

2. Fill gradual cooker with sizzling faucet water (10 seconds)

3. Flip gradual cooker on for 8 hours on low (2 seconds)

“Use no-brand condensed milk if you wish to save on value. I promise you nobody will know the distinction.”

Whenever you open these cans up, you’ll be amazed on the deep golden color and the odor of the wealthy caramel goes to make your mouth water. Dig deep and be sturdy – do not get caught in with a spoon since you received’t have the ability to cease!!

This caramel is kind of thick, a spreadable consistency (proven within the prime image) and completely clean. If you wish to make it a pourable consistency, you possibly can whisk in a contact of milk and even water, or warmth it up within the microwave.

I don’t get fancy serving it up, I often simply heat it up barely and pour it (generously) over vanilla ice cream, or unfold it onto a biscuit. As a result of it’s so wealthy, I don’t assume it wants a lot else to make it shine. However listed below are different solutions for issues you should use it for:

• As a sweetener + milk in espresso

• Use as unfold on muffins or toast

• Unfold on candy plain biscuits like graham crackers or shortbread

• Drizzled over desserts and cupcakes. Fancy!

• Caramel layer in slices

• Over crepes and pancakes

• Cheesecake

• As a dip for churros (it’s, in spite of everything, South American!)

• As a present (when you like anybody sufficient to present this away to)

It’s pictured right here used on this Shortbread Dulce De Leche Cookie Sandwiches. It may be used to stuff a brownie (see these Salted Caramel Stuffed Brownies).

I hope you give this a attempt! It truly is useful to have within the fridge. I’m particularly glad that I made this batch at the moment as a result of I’ve simply organised to have a bunch of associates over this weekend! 🙂

2. Cover cans with hot tap water until the water is about 5 cm / 2” above the cans.

11. Then turn down the heat to medium low (or low if you stove is powerful), put the lid on and let it simmer for 2 hours to get the consistency and colour as per the photos you see, otherwise for 3 hours if you want to darker and thicker.

Notes
