Ingredients:
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Peanuts (you can use roasted peanuts for added flavor)
- Butter
- Salt (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Peanuts: If you’re using raw peanuts, roast them in a pan over medium heat until they turn golden brown. Allow them to cool, then roughly chop them. If you’re using roasted peanuts, you can skip this step.
- Melt Butter: In a saucepan, melt a tablespoon of butter over low heat.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk into the saucepan with the melted butter. Stir well to combine.
- Cook Over Low Heat: Keep the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent it from burning. Cook until the mixture thickens and turns a light caramel color. This can take around 10-15 minutes.
- Add Peanuts: Once the mixture has thickened, add the chopped peanuts to the saucepan. Stir well to evenly distribute the peanuts throughout the mixture.
- Optional: Add Salt: If you prefer a sweet and salty flavor, you can add a pinch of salt to the mixture and stir well.
- Cool and Serve: Once everything is well combined, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the Milk Dulce with Peanuts to cool slightly. You can serve it warm or at room temperature. If you prefer it firmer, you can let it cool completely in the refrigerator before serving.
