An easy recipe for the most delicious "caramel sauce"

Origin: Latin America, Poland

Difficulty: Super Easy

According to Wikipedia, Dulce de leche is Spanish for “sweet [made] of milk”.

This is basically a “caramel sauce” which is made with milk, and it is delicious. Not so sweet as the one made with condensed milk, but still perfectly flavored. I really do prefer this recipe.

The most basic ingredients are used to make this at home:

Sugar & Milk.

You can really try this recipe at home. It is easier than making fudge, and it is a handy item to have in your cupboard over a weekend.

How to make Dulce de Leche:

In a large saucepan, gently heat the sugar until completely melted. Add the butter and let it melt.
Now add the milk little by little while continuously stirring.
Then add the Condensed Milk and bring to a boil while stirring constantly.
Boil and stir for about 3 to 4 minutes until thickened.
Let it cool at room temperature and store in airtight container for up to 5 or 7 days.

Dulce de leche, in other countries, is also known as:

Spanish: ‘dulse ðe ˈletʃe‘

Portuguese: ‘doce de leite ‘

European Portuguese: ˈdosɨ dɨ ˈlɐjtɨ

Brazilian Portuguese: ˈdosi dʒi ˈleitʃi]

French: confiture de lait

Polish: kajmak

As a topping or filling for:

cakes
cookies
waffles
flans
crepes / pancakes
toast
ice cream
cupcakes
and anything else in need of a caramel topping.

Since I’ve discovered this recipe, it is a favorite in my house. I hope you enjoy it too.
