DULCE DE LECHE (SQUARE MILK) DESSERT
Method 1
Dulce De Leche Contents:
1 can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk
1/4 tsp baking soda (optional)
Dulce De Leche Preparation of:
Remove the label from the can of sweetened condensed milk and add the
baking soda (if using). This step is optional but it helps to prevent
the can from bursting during the cooking process.
Place the can in a large pot or dutch oven and fill the pot with enough
water to cover the can by at least 2 inches.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce the
heat to low and simmer for 2-3 hours, making sure to add more water to
the pot as needed to keep the can covered. The simmering process will
caramelize the sugar in the sweetened condensed milk, creating the dulce
de leche.
Remove the can from the pot and let it cool for at least 30 minutes
before opening.
Once cool, open the can and spoon out the dulce de leche.
Alternatively, you can make dulce de leche using the following
methods:
Slow Cooker: Follow the same steps as above, but instead of using a pot
on the stove, place the can in a slow cooker filled with water and cook
on low for 8-12 hours.
Pressure Cooker: Place the can in a pressure cooker and add enough
water to cover the can. Cook on high pressure for 40-60 minutes. Let the
pressure release naturally before opening the can.
It's always recommended to be very careful when opening the can, as the
dulce de leche will be extremely hot.

Method 2
Dulce De Leche Contents 2:
1 liter of whole milk
1 cup of granulated sugar
1/4 tsp baking soda (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Dulce De Leche Preparation of 2:
In a heavy-bottomed pot, mix together the milk and sugar.
Add in the baking soda (if using) and vanilla extract (if using).
Place the pot over medium-low heat and stir constantly until the sugar
dissolves.
Once the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat to low and let the mixture
simmer for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until it
thickens and turns a caramel color.
Remove the pot from the heat and let the mixture cool before using or
storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
This recipe can also be made in a slow cooker or pressure cooker by
following the same instructions as the previous recipe, but with the
addition of sugar.
It's important to keep an eye on the pot while it's simmering, as the
mixture can easily burn. And also keep in mind that this recipe will
take more time than the previous one.

About Dulce De Leche Country
Dulce de leche is a traditional sweet treat that is popular in
many Latin American countries, as well as in Spain. It is made by
simmering sweetened condensed milk or regular milk and sugar until
it thickens and turns a caramel color. The name "dulce de leche"
is Spanish and translates to "sweet milk" in English.
The origin of dulce de leche is believed to be from the
pre-Columbian Mesoamerican civilizations, where a similar treat
was made by simmering ground corn in water. With the arrival of
the Spanish in the Americas, the recipe was modified to use cow's
milk instead of corn and sugar was added to sweeten it.
Dulce de leche is particularly popular in
Argentina,
Uruguay, and
Chile, where it is
often used as a spread for toast, as a filling for pastries and
cakes, or as a topping for ice cream. In Mexico, a similar treat
called cajeta is popular, which is made by simmering goat's milk
instead of cow's milk. In Brazil, a similar treat called doce de
leite is popular which is similar to Dulce de Leche.
Dulce de leche can be found in most Latin American markets and
some international grocery stores, as well as it can be made at
home by following one of the recipes provided earlier.
