What Do You Need To Make Instant Pot Caramel Dulce De Leche

 

This recipe is so simple you will need 1 can of sweetened condensed milk and a mason jar with a lid.

How to Make Instant Pot Caramel  Dulce De Leche

 

Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the mason jar and seal the jar. Place the jar on your trivet and completely cover the jar with water. I filled my pot right to the 4L level.

 

Turn your instant pot on Manual High pressure for 30 minutes. Do a quick release and allow your jar to completely cool before removing from water about 1 hour.

Can You Use Evaporated Milk instead of Sweetened Condensed Milk

No. Evaporated milk will not transform into dulce de leche once cooked. It is more of milk where the condensed milk has added sugar and offers a thick texture to start.

I have frozen this in the past and had no issues. Place in a container and lay a layer of plastic wrap over the top of sauce. Place lid on and freeze for up to six months. Thaw In Fridge the night before you plan to use. Stir and use however you want.
