Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 can(s) evaporated milk
5 1/2 c sugar
5 1/2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed

Steps:

  • 1. Mix milk, sugar, butter, salt, and vanilla in a large heavy pan and bring to boil. Add brown sugar and stir until it dissolves. Continue cooking and stirring mixture over medium heat until it reaches soft ball stage. Stir until thick enough (as for fudge). Drop by teaspoonful on a buttered pan or waxed paper or pour into buttered pan and cut into squares.

Tips:

  • Use a microwave-safe dish. Glass or ceramic dishes are best.
  • Stir the mixture frequently. This will help prevent the mixture from scorching.
  • Use a low power setting. This will help prevent the mixture from boiling over.
  • Be careful not to overcook the mixture. Overcooked leche quemada will be thick and rubbery.
  • Let the leche quemada cool slightly before serving. This will help prevent the mixture from splattering.

Conclusion:

Leche quemada is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be served as a simple dessert, or it can be used as an ingredient in other desserts, such as cakes, pies, and ice cream. It can also be used as a topping for fruit, yogurt, or oatmeal. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, leche quemada is sure to be a hit.
