Condensed Milk=Caramel

Totally bizarre from my eldest son's Social Studies project (cooking a dish found in Latin America). This Argentine cookie recipe called for two lemon cookies with a filling in between. The filling was made by boiling a can of condensed milk (in the can without opening it) for three hours. The milk becomes caramel. It didn't explode or anything; they just had to keep water over it and keep checking on it for the three hours. A fun thing to try with your kids (or no kids) next time you want something yummy!

I believe that is technically dulce de leche, not caramel. Still delicious however!
He said it was called something (what you said), but I had no idea how to spell it! Thanks for stopping by.
The French Canadians I know do that and mix it with bananas and put it in a pre-cooked pie crust for Ban-Offee Pie.
Guess what - if you don't use sweetened condensed milk for years, it gets like that too.

Yeah, but I don't know if he would have gotten credit on his Social Studies project if he turned it in to his teacher in 2014!
One of my favourite ice creams to make is Dulce de Leche. Which uses condensed milk cooked over medium heat until it turns golden. It's great stuff. This in-the-can trick is interesting.
Condensed milk also helps make a mean fudge, key lime pie, and lots of other things that will make your teeth rot. :)

it's totally cool. three hours is a long time...but that's crazy, and maybe even worth the time.
