Homemade Dulce De Leche without Sweetened Condensed Milk

Step 1

Pour milk, organic cane sugar, and salt into a stock pot. Make sure that the stock pot is large enough to handle the milk bubbling up after the baking soda is added.

Step 2

Stir and begin heating on med-high heat until mixture begins to boil.

Step 3

Once boiled, remove from heat and stir in baking soda/water mixture.

Step 4

Place back on heat and bring to a steady simmer. I prefer a medium heat for this. If it’s too low, it will take forever to cook down.

Step 5

Let it cook down and do it’s thing. I like to check in every 10-15 minutes to give it a quick stir.

Step 6

After an hour or so, begin checking and stirring your dulce de leche more regularly, every 5-10 min.

Step 7

When the color is looking golden and it’s beginning to coat a wooden spoon, keep a careful eye on your dulce de leche and stir regularly.

Step 8

When it has reached desired consistency, coats the back of a wooden spoon and is nice and golden, remove from heat, pour into mason jars and once cooled, store in the fridge.
