Time 12m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 2

Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 pinch sea salt (You don't need this, see note)

Steps:

Empty the can into a large (2-1/2 quart or larger) glass bowl, and cover with plastic wrap (cling film), keeping a tiny bit uncovered to prevent excess steam build-up.
Microwave on medium power ( level 5 on a 10-level appliance) for 2 minutes. Remove, stir with a wire whisk, and recover. Cook on medium for 2 more minutes. Remove, stir with a whisk, recover.
Then, in increments of 2-1/2 minutes, cook (on medium power) for another 10 minutes, stirring between each interval. After the first two stirs, you'll notice that the milk bubbles and foams up as it expels moisture. Then, with each stirring, the milk will be thicker and more caramel colored.
If after the 10 minutes, you like the color and consistency, stop! If you'd like a thicker sauce, continue cooking in 1-minute increments for another 2-3 minutes.
Remove from the microwave, and let cool before packing in a glass jar, or use right away to fill Alfajores or as a topping for ice cream.
NOTE Food,com doesn't allow you to have only one ingredient so I had to add another. Everyone like salst with caramel these days so just for fun you coud add a pinch to what ever your putting the Dulce de Leche in - but it's really not needed!

Tips:

Choose the right microwave-safe container. Use a large, microwave-safe bowl or dish with high sides to prevent splattering. Make sure the bowl is big enough to hold the milk and sugar mixture as it expands during cooking.
Stir the mixture frequently. Stirring prevents the milk from scorching and helps to distribute the heat evenly. Stir every 30 seconds to 1 minute, or as directed in the recipe.
Cook the mixture in short intervals. Microwave the milk and sugar mixture in short intervals, such as 30 seconds to 1 minute at a time. This helps to prevent the mixture from boiling over and making a mess.
Watch the mixture closely. Don't walk away from the microwave while the mixture is cooking. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't boil over or burn.
Let the mixture cool completely. Once the dulce de leche is cooked, let it cool completely before using it. This will help it to thicken and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Microwave dulce de leche is a quick and easy way to make this delicious caramel sauce. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can have a jar of homemade dulce de leche to enjoy on your favorite desserts or snacks. So next time you're craving something sweet, give microwave dulce de leche a try. You'll be glad you did!
