Ingredients

  • 2 cans (14 oz each) sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash two mason jars, lids and bands with soapy warm water. Dry the jars. (This keeps the jars from exploding.)
  2. Pour sweetened condensed milk into the mason jars. Secure the jars with lids and bands.
  3. Place the jars on the rack of your instant pot. Pour water into the pressure cooker just below the lids.
  4. Cook 35-40 minutes* on manual high pressure with a quick release of pressure. Cans will be HOT, remove them with a canning jar lifter.
  5. Cover jars with a kitchen towel and allow to cool. (Don’t open the jars until they have completely cooled.)

Notes

  • *Cook 35 minutes for a lighter, creamier dulce de leche and 40 minutes on high pressure for thicker, darker results. Note it will thicken more as it fully cools.
