Cooking Method

  1. 1

    Prepare the Condensed Milk

    Open the can of sweetened condensed milk and pour it into a medium-sized saucepan.

  2. 2

    Simmer the Milk

    Place the saucepan over low heat. Stir the milk continuously to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

  3. 3

    Cook Until Thickened

    Continue stirring for about 1 to 1.5 hours, until the milk turns a rich caramel color and thickens to a sauce-like consistency.

  4. 4

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt during the last 10 minutes of cooking for added flavor.

  5. 5

    Cool and Store

    Once done, remove the saucepan from heat and let the dulce de leche cool. Transfer to a container and store in the refrigerator.
