Dulce de Leche


Ingredients:

  • Sweetened Condensed Milk
Remove paper wrapper around can.  Place can(s) in pot and fill with water, so water level is 1 inch higher than top of can.  Boil for 2 hours, adding water every 1/2 hour.  Do NOT let water level fall below top of can.  (Or you will have a very large and sticky mess to clean up.)  Lower heat so that it still boils, simmering.  After two hours remove from pot and let cool overnight.  DO NOT open until it has cooled.  (You will need to go to the hospital if you open it sooner.)  You can speed up cooling process by placing can in fridge.  

Enjoy on crepes, toast, cakes, instead of peanut butter, or on anything you want to sweeten up.

Flan



Ingredients:
  • 2 cans condensed milk
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 cans of water (use the empty milk cans)
Caramelize a bundt cake pan - about 3/4 cup sugar and a bit of water, until it thickens and takes color (the lighter the color the sweeter it is).

Mix eggs, add condensed milk and vanilla. Add the water and mixed till blended.

Pour in caramelized pan. Place that pan in a larger pan with water in the oven. Bake at 350 between 1 and 1 1/2 hrs - depends on your oven.

Cool in the fridge, unmold and enjoy
