Notes
1. You must use sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk. It won’t work with evaporated milk.
2. If your slow cooker leaks a lot of water, you should increase the water quantity. If the water dries out during cooking, the cans might burst open.
3. The Dulce De Leche will keep in the fridge for up to 1 month.
4. When the Dulce De Leche is warmed, it becomes pourable like a thick caramel. At room temperature or fridge cold, it is thicker, like a spread.
5. You can use a touch of water or milk to thin it out slightly if you want to drizzle it over something.
6. Suggestions for use:• As a sweetener + milk in coffee• Use as spread on muffins, toast or graham crackers• Drizzled over cakes and cupcakes. Fancy!• Caramel layer in slices• Over crepes and pancakes• Cheesecake• As a dip for churros (it is, after all, South American!)• As a gift – jar it and add labels and/or tags
7.Nutrition facts per serving assuming 3 cups (2 cans of sweetened condensed milk) serves 12 people.
