Ingredients

• 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk (I used Eagle Brand)

Instructions

1. Fill a large saucepan with water.
2. Remove the label from the can of sweetened condensed milk. Place the sealed can into water and submerge so that at least 2 inches of water covers the can. (Check water level during this entire cook time - add water as needed to keep can submerged under 2 inches of water. Very Important!)
3. Allow water to reach a boil and then reduce the temperature to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 hours (the less time the lighter, the more time the darker and more caramelized).
4. Using tongs, carefully remove the can from the water and allow it to cool for at least 3 hours or until cooled before opening.

Notes

Make sure the can remains fully submerged by at least 2 inches of water. If the can is not fully submerged, it can overheat and even explode.

Do not try to open a hot can of dulce de leche. Wait until the can has fully cooled to room temperature before opening. This can take up to 4 hours.
