Ingredients

Servings
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk) (1 can)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Pour can of sweetened condensed milk into a ceramic pie plate or dish. Sprinkle the milk lightly with about 1/8 tsp of salt (for a more salted caramel flavor, use 1/4 tsp salt).
  2. Cover tightly with foil. Place the filled pie plate into a large roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with water till it reaches about halfway up the sides of the pie plate.Place the roasting pan into the oven. Let the mixture cook slowly for 75-90 minutes, check the water level every half hour to make sure it hasn't dried out too much. Add water as needed.
  3. At 75 minutes, begin checking the color of the dulce de leche. When it reaches a rich light brown caramel color, you'll know it's ready. The longer you let it cook, the thicker and darker it will become.Take the pie plate and roasting pan out of the oven. Carefully remove the pie plate from the hot roasting pan. Take off the foil.
  4. Whisk the dulce de leche mixture. Use warm, or allow to cool to room temperature depending on your intended use.
  5. Store in the refrigerator. The sauce will keep for up to 4 weeks when refrigerated.
