Ingredients
- 1 can evaporated milk 12 fluid ounces [354 mililiters]
- ¾ cup sugar (white, granulated) [150 grams] plus one tablespoon (divided)

Cup of Yum
2. Simmer
- Heat the milk over medium heat. Simmer stirring constantly to prevent the milk from overboiling or scorching.Cook until it reaches the consistency of drinking yogurt (about 15 minutes). Discard the lime rind,
3. Crystallize
- Turn of the heat and add the remaining tablespoon of sugar and stir vigorously to mix. The sugar will crystallize changing the consistency of the dulce de leche.
4. Mold
- Once the mixture has a similar consistency to cookie dough, pour into the prepared mold and level with a spatula. Try to do this immediately, as it will harden once it starts cooling.
5. Serving
- Let it cool to room temperature on the counter.Remove from the mold and cut into small candy-sized cubes or squares. Serve.
Notes
- I did not have a mold the size of the traditional Dominican one, I improvised by cutting the bottom of a milk carton lined with some plastic film. The size I used was 3"L x 4 ½"W x 2"H [6.75 cm L x 9.5 cm W x 4.5cm], use whichever food safe mold of similar size you have at hand.
