Recipe Ingredients
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- Pinch of salt
Recipe Directions
- Preparation: Remove the label from the can of sweetened condensed milk. Place the unopened can in a large pot and fill the pot with water until the can is submerged.
- Cooking: Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and let the can simmer for 3 to 4 hours, ensuring that the can remains fully submerged in water at all times.
- Cooling: Carefully remove the can from the pot using tongs and let it cool to room temperature before opening.
- Serving: Once cooled, open the can to reveal the luscious milk caramel inside. Stir in a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor, if desired. Serve the milk caramel on its own as a spread or drizzle it over your favorite desserts for an extra touch of sweetness.
