Homemade Dulce de Leche

Hi Lovelies!

Do you like caramel? I LOVE everything caramel and caramel-like flavor. Brown sugar, I love. Maple syrup, I love. Palm sugar, I love. Dulce de Leche, I love. Butterscotch, I love. Hmm what else, lemme think 🤔 Basically I just love anything sweets, I guess 😁😆😆😁

Anyhoo.

My coworker asked me whether I knew this caramel flavored sweetened condensed milk, which then I made sure whether she meant Dulce de Leche. Yep. We both have one thing in common turns out. We love dulce de Leche 😁. However, she doesn't like the commercially available ones. She loves super thick dulce de Leche. I told her, hey I make those once awhile, esp. back then when I was still doing cakes. Long story short, I made her one on the weekend. Boy o' boy. She was overjoyed big time 🤩

If you love it as well and would like to make it yourself, here is how I make mine. Super easy to make and you can spoon it as is, spread over cake layers, fill up cupcakes, or even turn it into pie and/or any other type of desserts 🤩

1 can of sweetened condensed milk
A lot of water
Medium size but tall pot, for boiling

Peel off the paper from the milk can, then submerge the can in a lot of water. You want to make sure the can is totally under the water and some more.

Bring to boil for 5 H (for thick result), 3-4 H for store bought- like texture.

You want to keep adding hot water while boiling, whenever the water in the pot is going low. Again, the can needs to be totally covered with water.

Once 5 H marked, turn off stove and take out can off of pot. Let cool to room temperature before opening.

Enjoy 😍

Looks like something J would enjoy XD

Yaaasss!! I love this big time, i can just spoon and spoon and spoon and gain weight 😅

Yum yum! A friend of mine who used to make cakes also used to make her own dulce de leche. I haven't tried it myself, but like you, I'm a huge caramel lover... I wonder why I haven't bothered to make this..? It's far easier than the hours I've spent over the stove making caramel sauce. 😅

It's so good to see you are still active in the space! I've been away for a couple years, but working to get back into the blogging thing. Looking forward to seeing you around again!

Long time no see, lady! Hope youve been well!

Wow, I have seen how they prepare dulce de leche with whole milk and sugar, and even cooking the condensed milk without stopping beating but I had never seen this technique, it looks super useful and an amazing result

Give a try 🙃

Interesting. I have never heard of this. I might have to put it on a list of things to do.

It is soooo good. You can get ready to consume ones at grocery stores btw!
