About Dulce de leche

Dulce de leche is a rich and creamy caramel-like spread made from milk and sugar that’s heated and stirred until it thickens and develops its signature golden-brown color. Originating in Latin America, particularly popular in Argentina and Uruguay, this indulgent treat is a staple in many desserts and baked goods, adding sweetness and depth to cakes, cookies, and ice cream. While it’s loved for its unique flavor, Dulce de leche is high in sugar and calories, making it less suitable for those on low-sugar diets or seeking calorie-conscious options. It contains small amounts of calcium and energy from its milk base, but its nutritional profile leans heavily toward its sugar content. Consumed in moderation, it can be enjoyed as a decadent addition to a balanced diet.
