Answer 3

The easiest is this one:
1 tin of sweetened. condensed milk
Place in a pan of water, or a double boiler
allow to cook for 45 to 50 min.
Let it cool off before opening the tin.
(if it is too thick, do the next one a few minutes less)

If it has turned out too solid, open both ends of the tin, push the dulce de leche out, cut into thin slices...put on dessert plates place a slice of pineapple on top of each slice cover with a dollop of whipped cream (don't add too much sugar to your whipped cream, you have the sweetness of the dulce de leche) and add a few maraschino cherries for colour. Instead of pineapple use mango slices...also delicious
This is the first ever dessert I learned how to make, in my home economics class in school in Mexico! (About 46 years ago!!)

I did make a dulce de leche once in the strangest way...Left the tin of condensed milk out in the summer heat, (unintentionally) for the whole summer, when I found it, I opened it just out of curiosity...and it had turned into dulce de leche (as long as the tin hasn't rusted, it is perfectly ok!).

But I recommend you try the top recipe instead...it's faster and probably safer to eat!!!...

:-D

Answer 4

Dulce de Leche

1 gallon milk
3 cups sugar
3 tablespoons vinegar

In a large stockpot, add the sugar to the milk.
Bring to a boil.
Separate with the vinegar.
Cook until water disappears and only the solids are left and caramelized (about 40 minutes).
Serve with queso blanco and/or candied fruits.

Answer 5

Can you get sweetened condensed milk? If so you just heat it until it starts to caramelize. You can even cook it in the can. That's all dulce de leche is.
