About Milk jam

Milk jam, also known as dulce de leche, is a rich, caramel-like spread made by slowly heating milk and sugar until thickened and golden. Originating from Latin America, this sweet treat is beloved in cuisines worldwide and often used in desserts, pastries, or as a topping. Its smooth, velvety texture and deep flavor come from the Maillard reaction during cooking, which intensifies its sweetness. Milk jam is a source of simple carbohydrates, primarily from sugar, and contains small amounts of protein and fats due to the milk content. While it provides immediate energy, it is relatively high in calories and sugar, making it best enjoyed in moderation. It’s not a significant source of vitamins or minerals but can be a delightful way to enhance baked goods or satisfy a sweet craving. Opt for homemade versions to control the sugar content and avoid additives.
