There’s no denying the allure of sweetened condensed milk, that tin of goodness that tastes more “sweet” than it does “milk”; that creamy, syrupy nectar with its caramel overtones. It’s a critical ingredient to Latin America’s dulce de leche – see Porteño’s milk flan with dulce de leche or our churros recipe with dulce de leche – and various tres leches (three milks) cakes. It works wonders in savoury recipes too, like David Thompson’s Thai grilled pork skewers.
