About Doce de leite
Doce de leite, also known as "milk jam," is a traditional South American confection, particularly popular in Brazilian and Argentine cuisines. It is made by slowly simmering milk and sugar until it thickens into a creamy, caramel-colored spread or dessert. The process creates a rich, sweet flavor and smooth texture that is enjoyed on its own, as a topping, or in baked goods. While it provides small amounts of calcium and energy due to its dairy content, doce de leite is also high in sugar and calories. Eaten in moderation, it can be an indulgent treat, but excessive consumption may contribute to added sugar intake, which is linked to health concerns like weight gain and cavities. This beloved delicacy is a cultural favorite, symbolizing comfort and nostalgia in many households.
