Every year around this time, my mami will ask what kind of cake
I fancy for my birthday. She doesn’t really say ‘fancy’, but after being married
to a British man for 17 years, I like to use the word ‘fancy’…but I digress.
My mami has been making cakes for us for as long as I can remember.
While my siblings and I may differ on what we consider to be our
favourite cakes, there’s a good chance we’ll all have a common ingredient – typically
smothered in between layers – and that is dulce de leche.
Dulce de leche has been a staple in our family and not limited to
dessert. We have it with pancakes, muffins, on toast, as a dip etc.
So it got me thinking, why not share the great family secret of the easiest
dulce de leche ever? Well, it’s not really a family secret, but it really is
super easy – perhaps too easy for a blog post, but here it goes.
Easy Dulce de Leche
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
Directions:
– Remove the label from the can of condensed milk.
– Put the can into a large sauce pan.
– Fill the pan with water until it is ¼ inch or so above the top of the can.
– Put the pan on the stove (uncovered) and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
– Lower the heat to simmer and let the can simmer gently for about 1–2 1/2 hours.
– As the water boils down, add more hot water so that the water level is maintained at ¼-inch above top of the can.
– After 2 1/2 hours, drain water and remove can from pan with tongs or allow to cool to the touch.
– Open can and enjoy!

I love dulche de leche but never made it, ever.
Now I know I have to lol
Thank you for sharing, simple is great tbh.
And compliments on your crafts, they are beautiful.
This is one of my favorite flavors – I had no idea it was so easy!- and your photos are lovely!
Gee,
You can do this in the slow cooker. Probably best to do overnight. Pour contents of can into 1/2 pint jar (2 cans should equal 4 jars approx), seal jars finger tip tight, put jars in slowcooker and cover jars by approx 1″ of water. Cook on low approx 9 hours (can lift a jar out to check for colour). Store in fridge.
I loved eating with apples this when living in Brasil, some 10 years ago. I’ve never had it since then. I didn’t realise it was so easy to make. Thanks for sharing.
I had no idea. I have had it but thought it was some sort of caramel sauce. Didn’t realize it was just condensed milk. I’m such a non-cook I kept wondering what the water would do to the milk and all the milk would spill into the pan, duh! until I later read “open the can”, for some dumb reason I didn’t realize the can was not open when you put it in the water. I guess anyone with any cooking knowledge would know not to open the can. LOL
Wow, Lucy your photos are incredible!
