Ingredients
- 1000 ml Full-fat milk
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 150 grams Erythritol
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a heavy-bottomed pot, combine the full-fat milk, heavy cream, and erythritol.
Step 2
Place the pot over medium heat and stir continuously until the erythritol dissolves completely, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Once dissolved, add the baking soda to the mixture. This will help prevent the milk from curdling.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer gently. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
Step 5
Continue to simmer until the mixture thickens and turns a light caramel color. This should take about 60 to 90 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Once the desired thickness and color are achieved, remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 7
Allow the doce de leite to cool before transferring it into a jar or airtight container.
Step 8
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to thicken further. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
