Servings: can
Ingredients

Instructions

- Place the can in a large pot and cover it completely with water, making sure there is at least 2 inches of water above the can.
- Place the pot on the stove and bring the water to a boil over high heat.
- Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the can simmer for 2-3 hours. Keep an eye on the pot to make sure the water level stays above the can and add more boiling water as needed.
- After 2-3 hours, turn off the heat and carefully remove the can from the pot using tongs.
- Let the can cool completely at room temperature before opening it. Do not try to open the can while it's still hot, as it may explode.
- Once the can is cool, open it and you should have thick, caramel-colored dulce de leche inside.
Notes
Note: It's important to use an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk for this method, as opening the can before boiling it can cause the milk to scorch or curdle. Additionally, make sure to use a large enough pot to completely submerge the can in water, as this helps to prevent the can from exploding.
