Microwave Dulce de Leche Caramels
Let’s talk about dulce de leche—a rich, creamy, caramelized milk that’s basically what happens when regular milk decides to live its best life. It’s sweet, it’s smooth, and it’s the flavor equivalent of a warm hug from someone who smells like cookies. Now imagine taking that magical stuff and turning it into a soft caramel. Are you drooling yet? Because you should be.
Did I mention these are made in the microwave? I am usually not a huge fan of microwave caramels because the caramel just isn’t that… caramel-y. The sugar just doesn’t have time to do it’s thing and it tastes that way too. I said what I said. BUT, when you use dulce de leche, a caramelized milk to start with, then that caramel flavour is already there. So let’s get zapping our way to these chewy and buttery delights!
Dulce de Leche
Pure decadence.
Dulce de leche, which literally means “sweet milk” in Spanish, is a heavenly caramel-like sauce beloved across Latin America. Made by slowly cooking sweetened milk until it transforms into a thick, golden delight, it’s a little creamier and not as sweet than your classic caramel but just as dreamy. Think of it as caramel’s sophisticated cousin who always brings dessert to the party. Here’s the great news: dulce de leche is very easy to make, using only one ingredient! Yes, just one.
This golden, creamy delight is like a warm hug in dessert form. Whether you’re swirling it into ice cream, slathering it on toast, or eating it straight from the spoon (hey, no shame here), dulce de leche is pure magic in a jar.
