Editors Review

If you find a few cans of sweet condensed milk in your pantry and don’t know what to do with them, just use it to make Dulce de Leche. This wonderfully creamy, gooey, sweet caramelized milk confection, sauce or spread is a Latin American classic and similar to French Confiture de Lait, or simply milk jam in English. Chef John shows you a really simple way to make this versatile caramel sauce which you can eat alone as a dessert or use as a spread over toast, cookies, cakes and brownies or serve as a sauce.
