On the Menu: Dulce de Leche


When Robinson was a child, his parents would make this delicious treat for him and his brothers. 

Sometime during our courtship, Robinson made me dulce de leche in his parents' pressure cooker. At that point, I had never made anything in a pressure cooker before, so it was fun to see the transformation of sweetened condensed milk to a thick, caramel pudding. 

The boys loved it, too!

If you don't have a pressure cooker or can't borrow one, you might be able to find pre-made dulce de leche at your local specialty store or supermarket. 

Pressure Cooker dulce de leche
Serves 4


1 can sweetened condensed milk
4-6 tsp vanilla
dippers (apples, bananas, pretzels, and anything else that might be good with caramel!)
pressure cooker

1. Fill the pressure cooker with 1" of water.
2. Take the label off the can of milk and put it in the pressure cooker. Close and heat.
3. Get the pressure to 15 pounds. Process it at 15 pounds pressure for 15 minutes. Let cool.
4. Open the condensed milk can and scrape into a medium bowl. Add vanilla to taste. Eat with whatever dippers you'd like!
