Dolche de leche

Submitted by:Mpmmuirhead

Introduction

This is a recipe that I discovered while visiting with a friend of mine from Mexico. He was complaining that he could never find any of this wonderous substance in Regina, Saskatchewan. So I gave it a shot and came up with this.

Ingredients

• 1 Litre of Milk.(I apologize, I don't know the Imperial Conversion)
• 1 1/2 Cups of Sugar
• 1 Vanilla Bean (or 3 tbsp Vanilla Extract)
• 1/2 tsp of Baking Soda

Method

• Use a pot that seems overly large for this operation, as the baking soda will foam and rise to shocking hights.
• Pour the Milk and Sugar in the pot and set to a low heat.
• When the sugar has completly dissolved in the milk add the Vanilla and the Baking Soda
• Tend to until the milk has reduced to a thick caramel like texture. (About 1 cup of it will remain. Be prepared, this will take some time)

Serving

This fantastic dessert can go with almost any pastry, cake, or spoon. Enjoy!
