Description

Dulce de Leche (pronounced 'dool-say day lay-chay). Simply put it is caramelized condensed milk. Condensed milk is thick sweetened milk. It is available in tins in super markets. Dulce de Lechay is used as dessert topping , in cakes, brownies or spread on bread or eaten as it is. Sometimes Dulce de Leche is mistaken for caramel. The main difference between these two is that dulce de leche is made from condensed milk (or milk and sugar) whereas caramel is made from sugar and water.
