Dulce de Leche Sauce Creamy Dulce de Leche Sauce – A Sweet Latin American Classic Ingredients: 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional) 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for enhanced flavor) Directions: Stovetop Method: Remove the label from the can of sweetened condensed milk. Do not open it. Place the unopened can in a large pot and cover with water by at least 2 inches. Bring the water to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 2.5 to 3 hours. Check often and add water as needed to keep the can fully submerged at all times. After cooking, carefully remove the can with tongs and let it cool completely before opening. Once cooled, open the can, stir in vanilla and salt if desired, and transfer the dulce de leche to a jar. Alternative (Faster) Method – Using Sweetened Condensed Milk in a Pan: Pour the condensed milk into a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and turns golden brown (about 30–40 minutes). Stir in vanilla and salt, and cool before storing or serving.
