This completes the story time section of this post… 😀
Dulce de Leche or confiture de lait…. can’t really explain how delicious this creamy milk-based sauce really is. It is found as both a syrup and a caramel candy, it is prepared by slowly heating sweetened milk to create a product that is vaguely similar in taste to caramel. This deliughtful dessert can be found in an assortment of classic desserts in the Argentine, Paraguayan, Chilean, Peruvian and Uruguayan cuisine.
The most basic recipe demands for slowly simmering milk and sugar, stirring almost constantly, although other ingredients may be included. As most of the water in the milk evaporates the mix will begin to thicken; resulting in the fabulous dulce de leche. The transformation that occurs in preparation is often called caramelization.
These are just sublime inside crêpes… 😉 Hint! Hint!
Absolutely delish!
Dulce de leche ftw!
It’s very common here (Argentina) to eat crêpes with dulce de leche, or flan with dulce de leche… or toast and dulce de leche or or dulce de leche ice cream *drools*.
Those jars on the pic look like homemade “confiture de lait”, even yummier!
