Lucy @ Bake Play Smile says
It's just so simple! I haven't made caramel like this for ages but you've reminded me how good it is! Thanks for linking up with our Fabulous Foodie Fridays party xx
Sara says
Hi Lucy, I go back to this recipe (it's more of a dessert hack, really!) again and again because it's so easy and yields fantastic caramel every time, it's such a pleasure to link up at the FFF link party, thank you for visiting!
Lynn | The Road to Honey says
I returned from Argentina about a month ago and all I can say is I have never seen so much dulce de leche in one place. It was everywhere and appeared to be used on everything. Of course I can see why. . .it is that heavenly. I've never actually made it and looking at your recipe it is so hard to believe that something so rich and so divine could be so easy to make (far easier then caramel. . .or so it seems).
Sara says
Hi Lynn, Argentina sounds so nice right now as we are in the Winter months in NJ. It's really amazing stuff! The flavor improves any dessert that you want to add it to, definitely one of the finer things in life that doesn't have to be expensive. Thank you for visiting!
Jessica Wood says
Sara this dulce de leche looks perfectly sweet and creamy! It's amazing how easy it is to make!
Sara says
Hi jessica, yes, it really is creamy too, I think that's one of the reasons why it's so satisfying 🙂
Ali @ Home & Plate says
Wow....love it. I will never again buy the jarred stuff. Yum!
Sara says
Hi Ali, yes, it is much less expensive than the jarred stuff, we are talking less than $2, I've seen caramel sell for $6, that's a significant cost savings! Thank you for visiting!
Julia says
It's so hard to find Dulce de leche in Germany, so your recipe is perfect for me. Thanks for sharing.
Sara says
Hi Julia, yeah, even in the USA, not every place has it, but you can certainly find sweetened condensed milk in most places! I really hope you enjoy it, thank you for visiting!
Cassandrea at chewsandbrews.ca says
Huh! I can't believe how simple this is!! Mind blown! I am going to try this!!
Sara says
Hi Cassandrea, yes when I found out about this, I was like, "I have to try this!" too and it beats standing over a stove stirring & constantly monitoring caramel, it's so easy and the results are worth the minimal effort!
Lauren @ Create Bake Make says
This is dangerously easy to make!
Sara says
Yes, I just got a bunch of cans to make some more right before Christmas! Thanks for visiting!
Mark, CompassandFork says
I've made dulce de leche many times using this exact method. It's unbelievable how something so simple can taste so good.
Sara says
I totally agree Mark! Thank you for visiting!
Just Jo says
Oh I lurrrrrve this stuff, been making it this way for years. Although I do it in my slow cooker (crock pot) to make life easier as I can forget it and I won't need to worry about the pan running dry. Look at that glorious goo .... ooo food porn alert!
Ciao Florentina says
Would it be really bad if i just ate this with a spoon ? It looks so amazing I just wanna sit on the couch and kill it lol
Sara says
Oh Florentina, I have been eating with a spoon everyday!
Bintu @ Recipes From A Pantry says
Yes, I could never only make one of this. I grew up making this in Sierra Leone but never knew what it was called.
Sara says
Hi Bintu, I am about to make another batch today, it's so easy! Thank you for visiting!

Sara says
Hi Revi, yes it's really nice and "convenient" to have a stockpile of Dulce de Leche on hand! Thank you for visiting & commenting!
Chris @ SimpleFood365 says
Wow that looks good! I love caramel on just about anything and this recipe looks great!
Sara says
Thanks Chris! Yes, I have been putting it on everything 🙂
Razena | Tantalisemytastebuds.com says
This recipe is luscious took me back about 30 years or so when we also still boiled sweetened condensed milk to get caramel for use in desserts and cakes. At some point the Nestle company who manufactured the condensed milk in South Africa decided to boil it themselves, and sell it for double the price as a dessert topping. It saves at least 3 hours of cooking time and the tension of waiting 🙂
Sara says
Wow, I did not know that Razena, that's interesting.
Sara | Belly Rumbles says
I love the can method, haven't tried it but the results look great.
Sara says
Hi Sara, I wish I could send you a spoonful right now!
Sara says
Hi Sara, sending you a virtual spoonful now!
