Ingredients

• 1000 ml Non-fat milk
• 150 g Granulated sugar
• 0.25 tsp Baking soda
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, pour in the non-fat milk, granulated sugar, and baking soda.

Step 2

Place the pot over medium heat and stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 3

Once the mixture begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking. Stir regularly to prevent the milk from sticking to the bottom and sides of the pot.

Step 4

Allow the mixture to cook for approximately 90 minutes. As it cooks, it will gradually thicken and deepen in color. Be cautious not to let it boil over or burn.

Step 5

Once the mixture has reached a thick and creamy consistency (similar to a caramel sauce), remove it from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Let the Doce de Leite cool slightly in the pot, then transfer it to a clean, airtight container.

Step 7

Allow it to cool completely at room temperature before sealing the container. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Step 8

Enjoy as a spread, topping for desserts, or even as a sweetener in your favorite drinks.
