This thick, spreadable caramel is a staple in Latin-American kitchens and incredibly simple to make at home. It requires only one ingredient! Perfect for drizzling over desserts like ice cream or cheesecake, or spreading onto cakes, cupcakes, or cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Pour sweetened condensed milk into a shallow baking dish, such as a pie plate or loaf pan.
- Cover very tightly with foil making sure all sides are covered and sealed. Place baking dish in a larger pan, such as a roasting pan or cake pan and place in oven.
- Fill larger pan with hot water until water level reaches about half way up the outside of the covered baking dish.
- Cook for about 60-90 minutes and then carefully check. Color should be a light caramel brown.
- Continue cooking if necessary, checking every 15-30 minutes. The longer you cook, the darker and thicker it becomes.
- Remove from oven and whisk mixture until smooth.
- Store in fridge.
