Dulce de Leche

Make your own dulce de leche at home! It's a thick, creamy, perfectly sweet confection made be heating sweetened milk. It has a beautiful nutty color and wonderful depth of flavor, which I would describe as a milky caramel. Dulce de leche is a really versatile ingredient you can use in cakes, cupcakes, sundaes and on cookies. You can't find it in many markets so I wanted to show you a couple very easy ways to make it at home!

Chocotorta is an argentinian cake you must try: Equal parts of dulce de leche and cream cheese mixed chocolate cookies (without cream) Chocolate ganache you soak the cookies in milk or in black coffee and you lay them on your tray. Then spread the mixture over the layer you just made and repeat 3 to 4 times. Then cover with chocolate ganache. Its suculent and very delicious, HACELO.

I came here because I have been craving dulce de leche. I was married to an Argentiean for 20 years before she passed away and it was she who introduced it to me. She made it a few times but would also buy it at a local market that caters to latinos. I need to buy several cans of La Lechera brand sweetened condensed milk now because if I'm gonna make it, I'm doing more than one can. I have heard of the cans exploding if you don't keep them covered with water. A tip I've learned is to boil water separately before adding to the pot with the cans so you maintain simmering temperature.

[@alexwalker8440]

It's been a while since your post, but I just discovered this channel a few days ago. If you can't find La Lechera, just use Eagle Brand. That's the one I use all the time. Oh, and I'm born & raised in Argentina ;-)

YOU SHOULD READ THIS! A TIP FROM BRAZIL! Here we put the condensed milk into a pressure cooker with the same amount of water you said, just enough to cover the can but not to fill the pressure cooker, it takes about 30 to 45 minutes, then the "Doce de Leite", as we call it in Brazil, is ready. Give it a try, it's madness boiling for 3 hours honey! Love your work.

[@cookiesnyder200]

Hi John, there's a third method using an electric pressure cooker or instant pot (this is how I make dulce de leche). Place the trivet at the bottom of the pressure cooker liner. Remove the label from the can of condensed milk and sit it on the trivet. Add enough water to cover the can. Place the valve on the lid, close the lid and set to cook on high for 20 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally. Once pressure has released, remove can from pot and allow to cool completely.

[@1Podri]

Great video. As an Argentinian living in Japan, the best alternative I've achieved, after iterating quite a bit, is using a pressure cooker (which I bought exclusively for this). The first step is pre-heating the can(s) of condensed milk for around 10 minutes in hot water, this is important to make it more homogeneous, otherwise the inner parts will be less cooked. After that, close the lid (making sure the water level is appropriate) and boil at max pressure for 30-40 minutes. Make sure you *let the can cool down* in cold water before opening - you don't want a dulce de leche burn. This yields a quite uniform, thick and relatively strong dulce de leche. It's not quite as strong as Argentinean dulce de leche, in fact it´s closer to the Brazilian version, but still definitely worth trying. Gotta say though, I'm really interested in trying that baked dulce de leche.

Hola John, Argentinian here, grew up never worrying about Dulce De Leche not being available at a store or at home. it truly is a staple and a must-have at every Argentinian household; it's almost as, if not more popular than peanut butter here in the US. My mom and my grandma used to make it, not because we couldn't find it at a store, but for the simple appreciation we all have in Argentina for homemade stuff. Three things that will completely improve the taste and color of dulce de leche: Baking soda, Corn starch and Heavy Cream. -Baking soda will give it a beautiful dark caramel color. -Corn Starch will thicken it, and give it the consistence needed for pastries (yes, dulce de leche is commonly used in many pastries and cakes) This type of Dulce de Leche is known as Dulce De Leche Repostero. My favorite birthday cake was the one my grandma would make with just dulce de leche and finely shredded coconut. -And last but not least, Heavy Cream will give it a more delicious buttery flavor, milk in argentina is thicker than here in the US, since they don't add as much water for mass production purposes as there do here. So, to any milk you buy here to make Dulce De Leche, I recommend using also Heavy Cream to compliment it. Your Dulce de Leche looks really good, now it made me want to go make some. Love your channel, thank you for all the amazing recipes. Stay Safe, John. Cristian

[@roxsta1113]

Hello! I'd like to make it and just read your comment. I wanted to ask, do you just add the heavy cream into the condensed milk and that will work with the baking method in this video? Or how do you recommend to prepare it with the heavy cream and baking soda incorporated? Would love to know! Thank you!! ❤❤❤

[@groundhornbill]

Genuine story. I was making this by boiling in the pot. It was a really hot day and I was just about to take a cold shower. So, I quickly lifted the lid of the pot to check that there was enough water in the pot before I jumped into the shower. Well, there wasn't much water left and as I reached for the jug of water, the can exploded along the seam and I was covered in steaming hot dulce le leche. Thank goodness the cold shower was running and I jumped into it and washed the goo off before I was too burnt. Fortunately no permanent scars, but I had a lot of cleaning up to do because the dulce le leche covered the walls and ceiling and some even made its way down the passage of my apartment. I just buy it at the supermarket now. 😀

[@jvallas]

Yes, I kind of wondered at his making faces about accidents with the can, as if it's a silly concept. I've heard of it exploding quite a few times, and it really isn't funny. What terrible pain that must have been. Hot caramel is no joke. I don't even want to think about the cleanup.

John, you can do it in the pressure cooker, it doesn't take long, and it tastes very good. Place a can of condensed milk in the pressure cooker Then cover it with water, allowing half an inch to pass Cover the pan and cook over low heat until the pressure is reached After start to get pressure, count 30 minutes Turn it off and let the pressure go out by itself Then open the pan and wait for it to cool Take it off the water and open the can (wait until the can has cooled completely) Your dulce de leche is ready :)

And instead of burning it became this.

It's such an amazing combination and it's everyone's favorite here in my household :) Please do experiment with it and share your experience with us :) Always a pleasure to watch you :) Serena

May I ask when you cooked the condensed milk and you don't open the tin how long does it last is it ok for as long as you don't open it it's still okay?

[@orbelina6508]

Can you please share the recipe, my husband loves cheese cake 😋😉

[@mechygarridolage112]

Graciaa ! delicioso ,

[@suecka]

from a Brazilian, the way you do it: 1) Put a can of condensed milk in a pressure cooker. 2) add water till covering the top of the can + 1/2inch 3) close the lid and after catching pressure, count 40 min and then turn it off 4) let all the steam out and carefully fish the can and put it in a cold water for 20 min 5) open and enjoy!! (can put 3 or 4 cans at the same time)

Watching from Argentina, home of Dulce de leche!

[@Clausmiran1837]

El dulce de leche existe en muchísimos países. como los Argentes no tienen ni historia ni identidad, se adjudican cosas que ni siquiera son suyas.

I’m totally addicted to your channel! Thanks for your amazing recipes and you gentle persona 🥰 If you some day can get mashed “lucuma” which is a fruit that grows in Peru and Chile, you can combine it with dulce de leche in cakes and it’s SO good 😎

[@lita_willz5241]

Yay im argentinian and got so happy when you mentioned "alfajores"(my favourite) your pronunciation is perfect.. Also u can put the cans in the instant pot for 45 mins if you need it fast :) love your videos ❤❤

[@marissa6871]

It's also especially easy to make in a crock pot! Take off the label, immerse the can (s), simmer away for a several hours!

Hi! In Portugal we easily find Dulce de Leche, which we call "Cooked condensed milk", but you can also cook it. Before we had the cooked version I used to cook it in a pressure cooker. It's much faster, it takes about 45 minutes, and it is perfectly safe as long you cover the can with water. Love you channel btw... thank you for your recipes, they are inspiring.

[@izzyworkman7966]

Thank you so much for this John! It will help me so much when I cook my cake tonight with my friends abbie and lucas. You have a beautiful home

[@lumenesque1]

Moved to Eastern Europe and discovered that condensed milk is a rarity in most village stores! Would you be able to do videos on how to make condensed milk & dulce de leche from scratch? BTW, you're just amazing to watch and your recipes are surprisingly easy to duplicate at home! Loving Preppy Kitchen.

[@techmage89]

Making your own condensed milk is pretty simple: Put very simply, just heat up some milk, add some sugar (150g sugar for every 500g milk is typical, but it depends on your taste). Then simmer uncovered until it reduces roughly by half, starts to thicken, and turns a creamy color. The result won't be quite as good as the stuff you buy in stores, because they cook it in a vacuum pan at lower temperatures, which helps retain more milk flavor which gets cooked off at normal simmering temperatures.

[@lumenesque1]

@@techmage89 Thanks so much. I have tried various recipes with varied results (none, as you say, are as good as store bought). And all take hours more than the recipe prescribed. Will keep testing.... Do you have any thoughts on some recipes calling for a pinch or two of baking soda?

[@techmage89]

@@lumenesque1 Hmm, apparently some people do this to prevent curdling, but I can't say I've ever had this issue, I suppose it depends on the properties of your milk. I think best results can be achieved by heating at as low a temperature as possible, which is typically 60C (lowest safe cooking temperature to prevent bacterial growth). If it gets above 70C, some proteins in the milk will break down and permanently change the flavor, so you want to ensure it stays cooler than this.

[@jpedrovianna]

In Brazil we call it "doce de leite" (Portuguese for "dulce de leche"). We like to eat it with "pão de queijo" (Brazilian snack). a great combination

[@karlah5324]

I've been following you for a couple of years now and your videos have taught me so much. Thank you for your recipes! Dulce de Leche is my favorite. Thank you for making this video. I appreciate it. 🙏 From Canada ❤

[@maitebignardi8111]

Thats amazing!! Here in brazil we do the boiling method, but instead we use the pressure cooker (which i believe is not that easy to have in the states) and it takes like... 20 to 30 minutes to get ready!! I love it

[@franciscoduran2386]

I just love how the comments section of this video is all Latinos lol. Also, I love to know how Dulce de leche Is called in different countries. For example: - Dulce de leche: Argentina - Arequipe: Colombia - Manjar: Chile - Cajeta: México Let me know how it is called in other countries LOVE FROM COLOMBIA!

That's correct, but as far as I know cajeta must be made with goat milk, and sometimes wine, raisins and/or pecans are added 🤤 Greetings from México :)

I recently started watching you 2 weeks ago and you’re my favorite to watch now I tried you’re carrot cake cupcake recipe and they were sooo good I’m making a carrot cake too this Thursday for my brothers birthday since him and my parents loved the carrot cupcakes I made last week so much !

[@Dreadtheday]

As kids my mom let us make this as a treat. We would leave the contents in the can, unopened. We would bake it in a water bath for what felt like a whole day. When we cooked turkey, ham or chickens we always had it on hand to put in the pan with it. Since it can be cooked in the can it is a great addition to your roast pan. It lifts the liquid level as well which can create a thicker sauce.

Finally a dulce de leche recipe that I don’t need to boil In a can! I’m always afraid that the can will explode Ps small baker youtuber

[@edstar83]

The can wont explode as long you keep it completely submerged in water. You need to keep an eye on it and top up water lost to evaporation.

[@TeresasSweets]

edstar83 thanks! I’ll try both methods now!
