Dulce de Leche

Text by Jac Kyles Baker 

Ingredients

1 12 oz can of sweetened condensed milk

Preparation

Use a deep and wide microwave safe bowl or 4 cup pyrex measuring cup.

Microwave sweetened condensed milk, uncovered in 30 second intervals at 50% percent power until desired thickness and darkness.*

Carefully remove from microwave.  Cool on a wire rack.  Store in a jar or airtight container in the refrigerator.

Cook's Notes

*The time will depend on your microwave's wattage.  I achieved the desired thickness and color in about 5 minutes using a 1000 watt output microwave.  See Chocolate Streusel Cake photo.
