Ingredients
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Directions
Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a small glass baking dish or pie plate, then cover it with aluminum foil. Set that dish inside a larger baking dish, and add hot water until it comes halfway up the outside of the smaller dish. Carefully move everything to the oven and bake until the milk turns a deep golden brown, about 1 hour. Take it out of the oven and whisk the dulce de leche while it is still hot. Cool it a bit, then use it warm, or spoon it into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a month.
