Dulce De Leche - For Non-cheaters Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Mystik / All my dishes 1 year, 10 months ago Dulce de leche is a divine Latin American caramel and isn’t hard to make. The super easy version isn't cheating by cooking condensed milk in the can (other versions are also posted). But if you've got some time to kill, this one is equally deliciou...

Ingredients

2 litres (1/2 gallon) whole milk

500 g (1 cup) sugar

1 teaspoon of sea salt

2 vanilla pods (optional*)

Directions

Add milk, sugar, and salt into a pot large enough that there are a few inches between the level of the milk and the top of the pot.

If using vanilla, cut the vanilla pods lengthwise, scrape the seeds from the pods and add everything into the pot - this is the French version called "Confiture de Lait"

Turn the heat to medium high, whisk or stir the mixture constantly until it comes to a full boil.

Turn the heat down to barely simmer, and continue to cook, uncovered, for 3 hours.

When the mixture gets to the desired consistency, remove the vanilla pods, and whisk until smooth.

Pour into small jars and let cool. When it cools down completely, put the lid on the jars and keep in the fridge.

NOTE: When in doubt, turn the heat lower. If the heat is to high your milk will boil over and develop a skin, which you won't be able to get rid of later. If the heat is too low you'll just have to cook it longer.

ANOTHER NOTE: Check the consistency at about 2.5 hours. The consistency you are looking for is a loose caramel. It thickens a bit after cooling.
