Homemade Dulce De Leche Recipe {VIDEO}

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: powdered milk + water

Almond milk is lower in calories, while powdered milk is cost-effective.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds sweetness with a unique flavor, while brown sugar is often less expensive.

Mix together milk, sugar, and baking soda in a saucepan.

Simmer the mixture until it thickens, which takes about an hour and a half.

Observe the bubbles; they should get really tiny and then almost disappear, indicating it's close to being done.

To test the consistency, take a spoonful of the dulce de leche and place it in a cold metal bowl from the freezer.

Check the thickness of the dulce de leche by observing how it drips from the spoon.

Aim for a thick caramel sauce consistency, which will thicken further when cooled in the fridge.

Stay close by during the initial simmering phase to prevent boiling over; after it starts simmering, you can leave it to cook for a while, checking occasionally.
