SLOW COOKER DULCE DE LECHE
What’s the easiest, most impressive dessert ever? Dulce de Leche! Delicious sweet caramel sauce made with only one ingredient!
Equipment
- Crock-Pot
- 3 half pint canning jars with lids and rings optional
Ingredients
- 2 14.oz. cans sweetened condensed milk NOT evaporated milk
Instructions
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the canning jars dividing the two cans evenly between three, half pint jars filling to the top. Place the lids and rings on the jars.
- Alternatively –you can just plop the unopened cans of sweetened condensed milk right in the crock pot. Remove the labels first.
- Place the jars in the crock pot and add water so the jars are covered by an inch. Put the lid on the crock pot and turn to LOW for 8 hours.
- When the time is up, turn off the crock pot, let cool and carefully remove the jars. Allow the jars to cool before you open them.
Notes
Since this isn’t a canning process the lids won’t seal meaning it’s not shelf stable. This will keep for about four weeks in the refrigerator, if it lasts that long. I’ll never know.
In my research I came across warnings that the unopened cans might explode during cooking. I tested it myself and nothing exploded or leaked or anything bad. It worked beautifully but I’m doing my due diligence. If you’re concerned, then put the sweetened condensed milk in mason jars. Another advantage to canning jars is you can see how caramelized it’s getting. And you can serve and store it in the pretty jars, too.
