Dulce de leche is a combination of milk and sugar that has been slowly cooked until the sugars caramelize, producing a thick, creamy, intensely flavored spread. A simple, safe way to make it is by baking sweetened condensed milk in a water bath (no need to constantly monitor the stove or worry about scorching sugar). Dulce de leche is extremely versatile and can be used as an ice cream topping, a dip for fresh fruits, or the filling in Alfajores cookies.

  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
