Dulce de Leche
A can and a plan: That’s all it takes to make the simplest version of dulce de leche, the thick, caramel-like spread found throughout Latin and South America. Pop an unopened tin of sweetened condensed milk into a pot and fill with water; after a few hours of simmering, you’ll open the can to find it’s turned deeply golden brown. Drizzle homemade dulce de leche over ice cream, use it in desserts such as banoffee pie or dulce de leche icebox cake, or sub it anywhere you’d typically use caramel. (To make with whole milk on the stovetop — the more traditional but slightly more complicated way — see Tip.)
