This is a classic Colombian boiled milk dessert that's known as
arequipe in the region of Antioquia, Colombia,
manjar blanco in other parts of the country and in the rest of South America it has different names such as
dulce de leche,
manjar blanco and
caveat.
Ingredients:
3l whole milk
675g sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cinnamon stick
Method:
Combine all the ingredients in a heavy-based pan and gently bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, for about 3 hours, or until the colour of the mixture becomes a golden caramel and the mixture is as thick as porridge.
Take off the heat and allow to cool then pour into a glass bowl and cover with clingfilm (plastic wrap). Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill.
This mixture will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week and can be used as a base for other desserts and cakes.
As a dessert, arequipe is typically eaten accompanied by saltine crackers.
