Forget the canned stuff, homemade dulce de leche is super easy to make – All you need is just 2 basic ingredients and one pot!
Print Recipe
Ingredients
1
lt
fresh whole milk
200
g
muscovado or turbinado sugar
½
teaspoon
baking soda
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.
