[…] She told hubby over the phone. She was so depressed, she finished off 16 oz. of chocolate fudge and caramel sauce (tasted so much like Dulce Gatas!) in something like two hours. Hubby’s reaction: “Oh.my.God.” […]

By te way, here in Australia, Nestle’s now sell caramelized condensed milk. If you prefer the really dark dulce, with the more caramelized taste, then you will have to boil it still. The length of time the can is boiled determines its flavour.

Like Millet above, I have had an unfortunate experience with making Dulce de Leche. it really is important that there is water in the pot. When I was about 14 years old, I fell asleep while waiting for the can to boil. On waking I rushed to the kitchen, and as I uncovered the lid of the pan, the can exploded covering my face in burn’t condensed milk. Fortunately I was wearing my glasses so there was no eye damage, and my facial skin healed without any scarring, though the injury did cramp my social life a bit for a while.

i just did tried this dulce method but with a little variation. I poked 2 holes in the can and boiled in water with 1/4 space from top of the can i boiled it for 3 hours and it came out delicious! great with my turon with langka! yummy! =) i will try with my halo halo ice cream tomorrow!

i saw a variation of the recipe that calls for making two holes in the can and fill the pot with water until it’s a quarter-inch below the can’s top…it’s shorter (1.5-2 hours for a runny dulce de leche…while 4 hours for a dulce de leche candy [solid]) and it somehow removes the “carabao dung” smell that someone has said somewhere in the list of comments…poking the top can encourage the milk inside to boil…
