Ingredients:
1 tin (400ml) sweetened condensed milk
1 tin (340ml) evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt

Method:

In a medium-sized saucepan, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

Place the pan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly to prevent the milk from sticking to the bottom and burning. Continue cooking the mixture until it thickens and takes on a caramel colour, (about 30-40 minutes).

Remove the pan from the heat and let the Dulce de Leche cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to a jar or airtight container.

Store the Dulce de Leche in the refrigerator. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
