Ingredients
  

  • 2 - 14 oz cans sweetened condensed milk

Instructions
 

  • Pour milk into a 9x13 baking dish and cover tightly with foil. Place into a large roasting pan and add enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish. The water bath prevents the edges from cooking faster (and burning) than the middle.
  • Bake at 425°F for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until thick and amber in color.
  • Scrape into a food processor and puree until smooth.
  • Place into a sealed container and refrigerate for at least an hour to firm up.
  • Store in the fridge for up to a week (if it lasts that long!).

Notes

Makes 2 cups
Method 2: To make the dulce de leche right in its own can - Fill a stockpot with water and bring to a boil. Remove paper label from the can of sweetened condensed milk, and place on its side in the bottom of the pot. Allow to boil gently for 2 hours, replenishing water as needed to ensure can is always completely submerged. Allow to cool completely before opening can.
