This has to be by far the easiest recipe ever!! Dulce de leche is basically really thickened toffee like caramelized sweetened milk. If you like caramel, you will absolutely love this! The first time I had Dulce de Leche , it was in the form of an ice cream flavor, the Haagen Dazs Dulce de Leche, and it is one of my favorites. The consistency can be variable depending on how dense or runny you want. Since it stores so well, I love to just have some at hand in my fridge for ice cream topping or to bake goodies with it.
400g of condensed sweetened milk and a few flakes of sea salt.
well that’s all you need really!
Pour the condensed milk into an oven proof shallow dish and stir in the sea salt, cover it tightly with foil. Put the dish into a roasting tin, pour boiling water in the tin such that the water reaches half way up the oven proof dish. Bake in a 200 ˚C pre-heated oven for 1 -1 ¼ hour. Keep topping up water in the roasting tin every 20-30 minutes.
Take it out of the oven and whisk it so that it becomes smooth. When cool, store it in a jar in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.
Direction to use: Open fridge-open Dulce de Leche jar- eat spoonfuls, smile out of the utter happiness you feel from its decadent taste ! If you really want to use it for something else then go on and pour it over your ice cream, on your cake, in your pies, on your toast!
