About Dulche de leche

Dulce de leche, a beloved sweet treat with roots in Latin American cuisine, is a thick, creamy caramel-like sauce made by slowly heating sweetened milk until it develops its signature rich flavor and golden hue. Its simplicity lies in its ingredients—usually just milk and sugar—though traditional methods may vary slightly across regions. While dulce de leche is celebrated for its indulgent taste and versatility, serving as a topping or filling in desserts like cakes, cookies, and ice creams, it is also calorie-dense. High in sugar and low in essential nutrients, it’s best enjoyed in moderation. While it does provide small amounts of calcium from the milk, its health benefits are outweighed by its high sugar content. Dulce de leche remains a cherished treat for special occasions or as a decadent topping, offering a taste of tradition and sweetness from its storied origins.
