How to Make Dulce de Leche (Thick Caramel Dessert Sauce)

Starting to Thicken

Marian Blazes

The mixture will begin to thicken and darken in color. The foamy bubbles on the surface will disappear.

Keep stirring! This is the part the requires patience. Call a friend, listen to the radio, have a cup of coffee...

Tip: If you need to leave the mixture unattended for a few minutes, remove it from the heat until you are ready to continue.
