(Caramel) Dulce de Leche
Although this is readily available in most super-
markets, it is quite simple to make your own .
The longer you cook it, the richer and more con-
centrated the caramel flavour gets .
Setting: Brown/Sauté
Makes about 1½ cups
2
cans (395g) skim sweetened condensed
milk
pinch flaked salt
1 . Put condensed milk and salt into the cooking
pot of the Multicooker .
2 . Set the unit on Brown/Sauté at 150°C to bring
mixture to a boil, stirring constantly so that it
doesn’t catch on the bottom due to the high
sugar level . Once mixture just comes to a boil,
reduce heat to 105°C so that there is a constant
low simmer . Keep pot uncovered and while
stirring occasionally every 10 minutes, allow to
simmer until caramel-coloured and thickened,
about 30 minutes .
3 .
Switch to Slow Cook on Warm if serving
immediately, or bring to room temperature and
store in refrigerator if using at a later time . Ideally
remove from cooking pot whilst still warm to
a heatproof container as it will be easier to do
whilst warm than when cold .
Note –
To make the popular salted caramel when
the caramel is cooked stir through ½ to 1 teaspoon
flaked salt .
