Dulce de Leche
Dulce de leche (DOOL-seh-deh-LEH-chen) is Argentina's national dessert. The traditional recipe calls for whole milk to be boiled down into a sweet, fudgy paste. Our shortcut, which uses fat-free sweetened condensed milk, yields an authentic flavor with a fraction of the effort and fat.
Yield: 2/3 cup (serving size: about 1 tablespoon)
