Dulce de Leche Quemada

Dulce de Leche Quemada is a rich, caramelized milk dessert with a deep, toasty flavor that is both sweet and slightly nutty. This Halal Mexican treat is perfect for those who enjoy indulging in creamy, decadent sweets.

Ingredients

• Whole milk - 500 ml
• Granulated sugar - 150 g
• Baking soda - 1/4 teaspoon
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - a pinch

Steps

1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the whole milk, granulated sugar, baking soda, and a pinch of salt over medium heat.
2. Stir the mixture continuously until the sugar completely dissolves, then bring it to a gentle simmer.
3. Reduce the heat to low, and continue to cook the mixture while stirring frequently, scraping the sides of the pan to incorporate any milk solids that form.
4. After about 30-40 minutes, the mixture will begin to thicken and change color. Keep stirring until it turns a deep golden-brown color and reaches a thick, spreadable consistency.
5. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Let the dulce de leche quemada cool slightly before transferring it to a clean jar or bowl for serving.
