Ingredients

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

1In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, and baking soda.
2Place the saucepan over low heat and stir continuously using a wooden spoon to ensure the mixture doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
3After about 15 minutes, the mixture will start to thicken. Continue stirring constantly for about 30-40 minutes until it turns a deep caramel color and thickens to the desired consistency.
4Once the mixture reaches a thick, smooth texture, remove it from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract if using.
5Allow the Dulce de Leche to cool slightly before transferring it to a jar or container.
6Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
