Description
This Caramelized Dulce Swirl Spoonable is a rich, sweet, and comforting dessert or breakfast addition made from simple pantry staples. It transforms condensed milk into a golden, velvety dream that delivers pure satisfaction without complicated baking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar (50g)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (14g), optional but recommended
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine condensed milk, sugar, salt, and butter (if using). Stir well until mixed for a smooth start.
- Gentle Heat & Stirring: Place pan over low to medium-low heat. Stir constantly, scraping sides and bottom, for 20-30 minutes. The mixture will warm and begin to thin.
- Watch for Color & Thickness: Continue stirring until it thickens and turns a beautiful golden-brown caramel. It should coat a spoon thickly.
- Finish with Vanilla: Remove from heat once thickened and colored. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated, adding fragrant notes.
- Cool & Store: Pour your delightful Caramelized Dulce Swirl Spoonable into a clean, heat-proof jar. Let it cool completely, as it will thicken further.
Notes
Constant stirring is critical for smooth, even caramelization without scorching. If the mixture looks grainy, reduce heat and stir vigorously. For dairy-free needs, use full-fat coconut condensed milk. Reduce sugar slightly if using a sweeter brand of condensed milk. The mixture will thicken further as it cools completely.
