How to Make Dulce de Leche in 15 Minutes | Recipe for a Soft and Creamy Caramel Toffee | Baking Cherry

Dulce de leche which translates as “sweet [made] from milk” is a simple ingredient that packs a huge punch. It brings serious sweetness to desserts without being overly sweet with a flavor profile that rivals that of caramel. However dulce de leche’s name already hints at its key difference and the flavor you can’t quite put your finger on: milk. Dulce de leche is best known as the filling for the South American sandwich cookies called alfajores but you can use it in plenty of other ways too. Read on to see how you can add a touch of subtle sweetness to your life by making these dulce de leche recipes.

A chef has managed to snag this alfajore recipe from a Peruvian street vendor so you know it's the real deal. Be sure not to cut the dough too thick and remove it from the oven before it browns.

This recipe starts with making your own dulce de leche which takes time but is much cheaper than buying store-bought dulce de leche. Combined with bananas and whipped cream dulce de leche adds a dose of decadence to refrigerator-style pie.
