I love this recipe because you can prepare several cans of dulce de leche at once and they keep for months in the cupboard ready to use at a moment's notice. Also there is no stirring while it's cooking. The first time I made it I admit I was nervous boiling unopened cans of sweetened condensed milk but it worked perfectly but BE SURE TO KEEP THE WATER LEVEL WELL ABOVE THE CANS while they are simmering for 3 hours. The water pressure from all sides of the cans keep them from blowing up and meanwhile the condensed milk inside cooks like it would in a pressure cooker and it turns into caramel. Ingredients:
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, labels removed |
water |
Directions:
1. Place desired amount of unopened cans of sweetened condensed milk in one layer in a deep pot. Fill with water well at least 3 above the tops of the cans.
2. Bring the water to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 3 hours, occasionally checking the water level to make sure it stays at least 2 above the tops of the cans. DO NOT LET WATER LEVEL GO BELOW THE TOPS OF THE CANS OR THEY WILL EXPLODE. After 3 hours turn off heat and cool completely in same pot of water. Store unopened cans in cupboard until use.
