A simple, magical recipe to create rich, caramelized dulce de leche using just one ingredient: sweetened condensed milk. Perfect for those who love creamy, sweet treats without the hassle of a complex cooking process.
1. Remove the paper label from the can of condensed milk.
2. Place the unopened can in a large pot and cover it with water, ensuring the water is at least 2 inches above the top of the can.
3. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
4. Let the can simmer for 2–3 hours. The longer it simmers, the thicker and darker your dulce de leche will be (2 hours = lighter and creamier, 3 hours = rich and caramelized).
5. Ensure the can is always submerged in water. Add more hot water if needed.
6. Use tongs to carefully remove the can from the pot and allow it to cool completely before opening.
7. Open the can, stir the contents, and enjoy your silky dulce de leche.
