Dulce de leche (pronounced “DOOL-say day LAY-chay”) is a thick, sweet caramel sauce made from milk and sugar. It is popular in Latin America and Spain and is used as a topping for desserts, pastries, and ice cream. Dulce de leche can also be used as a filling for cakes, cookies, and other baked goods.
Dulce de leche is made by simmering milk and sugar together for several hours until the mixture thickens and turns a deep caramel color. The resulting sauce is smooth and creamy, with a rich, sweet flavor. Dulce de leche can be made at home or purchased in stores.
