Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Make 2 small holes (the size of a finishing nail) on top of can of sweetened condensed milk on opposite sides using a bottle opener.
Step 2
Place can into a small saucepan; pour water to reach high up sides of the can. Bring water to a boil; reduce heat to low. Simmer milk in the can until it turns light to medium brown and becomes thicker, 3 to 4 hours. Add more water to the saucepan as it evaporates to maintain the level.
Step 3
Remove lid from can; transfer dulce de leche to a bowl. Whisk to break up any lumps and to incorporate thicker caramel from bottom into rest of sauce.
