Easy Dulce de Leche
Homemade dulce de leche that uses just one ingredient: sweetened condensed milk. It's delightfully easy to make, incredibly delicious, and pairs perfectly with ice cream, baked goods, coffee, and more!
Servings 14 Oz (1 3/4 Cups)
Ingredients
- 1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Remove the label and glue residue from the can of sweetened condensed milk, then place into a large pot. Fill the pot with water until the can is submerged under at least 1 inch of water.
- Place the pot on the stove and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and allow to simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, monitoring the water level periodically to endure there is still 1 inch of water above the can.
- Carefully remove the can from the pot using tongs and hand protection (it will be extremely hot to the touch). Allow the can to cool for 20-30 minutes before opening and enjoying. You may need to give it a few whisks to incorporate any lumps.
