Why is everything of South American origin so damn beautiful?
Let me introduce you to dulce de leche, a thick glossy spread prepared by slowly heating sweetened condensed milk until it transforms into a golden colour with a beautiful deep caramel flavour. Who doesn’t love a super easy one step recipe?
Dulce de leche is delicious spread on cakes, sandwiched between cookies or simply drizzled over ice cream. Pretty much anything goes here folks so have lots of oozy fun!

Hi,
I made this today but it went quite lumpy and cracked on top. It was smooth in a few parts around the side. I’m just wondering what I did wrong?
