Sweet Dulce De Leche Recipe

What I love about this recipe is that it is so hands-off. Normally when you make caramel from condensed milk you put it on the stove.

It has to be in boiling water for at least 3 hours and you have to check the water level regularly. Adding water level in the pan when water evaporates. Not when using the Instant Pot.

This is a true set-and-forget recipe.

What Is The Difference Between Caramel And Dulce De Leche?

If you look at the ingredients for caramel and dulce de leche they are not the same.

Dulce de leech is made with condensed milk or in this case condensed coconut milk where caramel is made with melted sugar and water or milk. However, the result is similar as it tastes the same as well and you can use it the same way as caramel.

You can keep this dulce de leche longer than regular caramel as it doesn’t contain any dairy or water.
