DULCE DE LECHE

There are several ways to make this sweet, caramel spread. Some traditionalists favor boiling an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk on the stovetop. If you go this route, make sure there is always enough water circulating around the can. Others prefer the ease of the oven method, which is slightly faster, too.

Time 4h5m

Yield about 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 1

One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk, unopened

Steps:

  • For the stovetop method: Remove the label from the can of sweetened condensed milk. Place 3 to 4 forks upside down on the bottom of a large 6- to 8-quart pot. Place the unopened can on top of the forks and cover with water by a few inches. (The forks help to prevent a vacuum between the bottom of the can and the pot.) Place the pot over high heat until it reaches a simmer, then lower the heat to medium-low or low to maintain a steady simmer for about 3 hours. Add more water to the pot if necessary to ensure that the can is submerged at all times. Let the can cool to room temperature in the water before removing. Open the can and scoop out the contents. The dulce de leche should be dark and caramelized.
  • For the oven method: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a shallow baking dish in a roasting pan. Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the baking dish and cover the dish with foil. Transfer the roasting pan to the oven and add enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake until the dulce de leche is dark and caramelized, 60 to 75 minutes, checking the water level occasionally and adding more if needed. Let cool, then whisk until smooth.
  • Transfer the dulce de leche to an airtight container, put plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

I found this recipe after Christmas while starting on collecting recipes for next year. It comes from the Jolly Time Popcorn folks. I wanted to try them the night I found it, but didn't have the butterscotch pudding. So, when I do get around to making them, I'll make any changes to the recipe that I think it needs. If you try it before me, please submit a review and let me know how they turned out. I'm anxious to try them!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality dulce de leche. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your balls.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the balls tough.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it. This will make it easier to work with.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to form the balls. This will help ensure that they are all the same size.
  • Roll the balls in chopped nuts or sprinkles before serving. This will add extra flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Dulce de leche balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover dulce de leche, and they can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer for later. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give dulce de leche balls a try!
