Instructions
- Place the milk and sugar into a large saucepan, and heat over medium-low heat just below a simmer.
- Stir the ingredients until the sugar is fully dissolved, then add the baking soda and stir (it will bubble briefly then it will stabilize).
- Keep the mixture just below a simmer over low heat, stirring every 10 minutes for about 2 hours.
- Once the mixture begins to turn brown, start stirring it continuously and lower the heat to a minimum.
- The homemade dulce de leche is done when it reaches a deep caramel colour and a thick but gooey texture.
- If not perfectly smooth, strain through a fine mesh strainer or give it a quick mix with an immersion blender.
Notes
- You can store prepared dulce de leche in an airtight container, in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
