Ok, ok I know… its not officially CARAMEL.. maybe a dulce de leche.. but it is dang delicious! Sweetened Condensed Milk cooked either stovetop or in the slow cooker creates a deliciously rich caramel sauce!
The best part is this recipe has ONE ingredient! Just one! Easy huh? I personally LOVE sweetened condensed milk in any dessert and this has to be one of my favorites!
This recipe makes one easy can of caramel… but here’s my trick… I do 2 or 3 at the same time. It doesn’t take any longer to stick an extra can in the pot and you can store it in your cupboard for a long time (not that it will last or anything).
Note: It is VERY IMPORTANT to ensure that the entire can is covered with water at all times!
Those of you that do not want to cook the caramel directly in the can, , either method will give you the same results.
Instructions
Stove Top
Note: It is VERY IMPORTANT to ensure that the entire can is covered with water at all times!
- Remove the label from the can.
- Place the unopened can on it's side in a large pot and fill with water so the water is 1" above the can.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a medium boil. Let boil 3 hours topping up with water as needed.
- Remove from heat and let cool before opening.
Slow Cooker
- Place unopened can in slow cooker on it's side.
- Fill slow cooker with water so the entire can is submerged. Cook on low 8-10 hours.
