How to Make Dulce de Leche

Dulce de Leche is essentially Mexican caramel. Its smooth, velvety texture and sweet, rich taste make it ideal for a variety of applications. Pour it on your waffles, mix it in with your cakes, or drizzle it over your doughnuts—there are so many options. And while there are a few different ways to make Dulce de Leche, making it in the oven has proven to be one of the simplest ways to make this decadent treat at home.
