Dulce de Leche Method #3: Sweetened Condensed Milk- Oven Baked Method
Make dulce de leche with a can of sweetened condensed milk poured in a baking pan surrounded by water and baked in the oven for 2-3 hours.
Ingredients
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- ⅛ tsp salt optional
- 1 tsp vanilla optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Open and pour the contents of a can of sweetened condensed milk into an 8x8 dish. Cover the pan tightly with foil and place it in a larger baking dish (like a 9x13). Use a measuring cup and pour water in larger pan. Add enough water to fill it ¾ way up the sides of the covered dish. Bake for 1½- 3 hours. Check the water level during the baking process adding more to maintain original level. Bake until you reach caramel color. Remove the smaller pan from the larger one and stir the dulce de leche mixture. Spoon the mixture into a bowl and whisk in salt and vanilla for extra flavor. Allow to cool. Cover and place in a container in the fridge to store for a couple of weeks.TIP: Keep a kettle of water boiling over the stove. When you add water to the pan during baking, you will not decrease the water temperature by much.
