Homemade Dulce de Leche in the Oven

Today I want to share a quick and simple recipe for homemade Dulce de Leche in the oven using one ingredient.

I've been a huge fan of this delicious and creamy Latin dessert for as long as I can remember.

I usually have a jar in my fridge for recipes, or to eat by the spoonful 🙂 By the way, in case you didn't know, Arequipe and Dulce de Leche are one in the same, but in Colombia, we typically refer to it as Arequipe.

What is Dulce de Leche?

It's a sweet, rich and creamy caramel sauce made with milk and sugar very popular in Latin America. It's also known as arequipe, cajeta and manjar blanco. Can be eaten on its own or as an ingredient for different desserts.

I usually make my Arequipe, or Dulce de Leche, from scratch, but sometimes I don't have the time or patience to cook it on the stove, or go to the Latin market to buy a jar. There are different ways to make Dulce de Leche at home with the same result, a delicious, decadent, and thick caramel sauce.

This recipe to make arequipe or dulce de leche in the oven requires just one popular ingredient. I always have in my pantry sweet condensed milk, a staple used to make Colombian desserts and to make Arequipe the easy way.
