Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Pour 2 cans of sweetened condensed milk into a heat-proof 9-inch baking pan.

Prepare a water bath by heating water in a kettle until boiling.

Place the baking pan with sweetened condensed milk into a larger pan.

Fill the larger pan with boiling hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking pan.

Cover the baking pan tightly with foil, sealing all sides.

Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45 minutes.

After 45 minutes, check the water level in the larger pan and refill with boiling water if it has evaporated, then bake for another 45 minutes.

Remove the dulce de leche from the oven and let it come to room temperature.

Once cooled, transfer the dulce de leche to a measuring cup for serving.
