Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Condensed Milk

    Open the can of sweetened condensed milk and pour it into a heavy-bottomed saucepan.

  2. 2

    Heat the Milk

    Place the saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir the milk continuously to prevent it from burning at the bottom.

  3. 3

    Cook Until Thickened

    Continue to cook and stir for about 30 to 40 minutes. The mixture will begin to thicken and turn a golden caramel color.

  4. 4

    Add Flavorings

    Once the desired color and thickness are achieved, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

  5. 5

    Cool and Store

    Allow the dulce de leche to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a clean jar. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
