📝 Ingredients

• 1 can condensed milk ((300 mL or 397 g). See recipe notes for more information)
• Sea salt (to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Use a large pot to place your can(s) inside. I use my 5qt stainless steel pot. I can usually fit 2 - 3 cans of condensed milk in this, but I also use it for 1 can, since it's easy to fill it with water so that the water level is 2 inches above the cans.
2. 2Remove the label of the condensed milk can(s).
3. 3Place the can on its side, inside the pot, and fill it with water from the tap. Make sure the water level is at least 1 inch above the can.
4. 4Place the pot on your stove with the lid, and heat over medium high heat to bring the water to a boil.
5. 5When the water is boiling, keep the lid ajar, and lower the heat so that the water is gently simmering.
6. 6Let the cans simmer in the water for 2 - 3 hours (2 hours for light caramelization, and 3 hours for a deeper caramelization).
7. 7It's crucial that you check on the pot every 30 minutes or so to make sure the water is topped off and is not evaporating to expose the can. I also like to rotate the can every 30 minute using long tongs.
8. 8After the can has been simmering continuously for 2 - 3 hours, the dulce de leche is done.
9. 9Carefully remove the can from the water and place it on a safe surface. Let it cool COMPLETELY to room temperature. You should ONLY open the can when it has cooled down all the way. This can take up to 4 hours depending on the ambient temperature.
10. 10Transfer the cooled can to the fridge overnight if you prefer to let it cool further.
11. 11When the dulce de leche can has completely cooled, open the can and scoop out all of the dulce de leche into a small pot, with about ½ tsp of sea salt. Gently heat over medium low heat while stirring to dissolve the salt and to warm up the dulce de leche.
12. 12Taste, and add more salt to your liking if needed.
13. 13Transfer the salted dulce de leche into a small jar or container.
14. 14Serve while warm OR let it cool to room temperature.
