Dulce de Leche Method #1: Sweetened Condensed Milk- Slow Cooker Method
Make dulce de leche with a can of sweetened condensed milk in a slow cooker covered with water on low for 10 hours.
Ingredients
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- ⅛ tsp salt optional
- 1 tsp vanilla optional
Instructions
- Remove the label from a can of sweetened condensed milk. Place the unopened, filled can in the slow cooker and cover it with water to about an inch above the top of the can. Cook on low for 10 hours. Use tongs to carefully lift the can out of the pot and place it on a towel on a heat-proof surface (cooling rack). Allow the can to cool before opening it (~1½ hours). Open the can using a can opener and scoop the mixture into a bowl. For balance and added flavor whisk in salt and vanilla. Cover and store in the fridge for a couple of weeks.TIP: You know when the can has cooled enough to open when the can gives a bit when pressed in as the pressure has decreased.
