Dulce de Leche Spread
Easy homemade Dulce de Leche spread- a silky, sweet caramel spread that’s perfect for drizzling, filling, and baking.
Ingredients
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a deep-dish pie plate or heatproof baking dish.
- Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Place the covered dish in a larger roasting pan.
- Pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the smaller dish.
- Carefully place the water bath in the oven and bake for about 90 minutes, or until the condensed milk is thick and deep golden brown.
- Check the water level during cooking and carefully add more hot water if needed.
- Remove the baking dish from the water bath and allow the dulce de leche to cool.
- Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Serve warm or cool over ice cream, cheesecake, pancakes, fruit, yogurt, or your favorite dessert.
Notes
- Keep the water bath from drying out during baking.
- The Dulce de Leche will thicken further as it cools.
- Whisk the finished sauce until smooth before serving.
- Store leftover Dulce de Leche in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
