Are you a fan of dulce de leche? This Latin American treat, which is made by slowly heating sweetened and condensed milk to brown it and turn it into a bounty of caramelized sweet flavor, is useful in all kinds of recipes.
While dulce de leche is often used for cookies and traditional cakes, there are all kinds of ways to implement this treat’s flavor into other sweet desserts. Here are some ideas for doing so!
Ice Cream
Dulce de Leche’s sweetness is a great addition when wrapped into ribbons in a base of ice cream. Most traditionally used with vanilla ice cream, companies such as Haagen Dazs were some of the first companies to mass-produce this sweet treat.
Cheesecake
Topping a cheesecake with Dulce de Leche is a great way to add a unique touch to this classic dessert. While cheesecake in and of itself isn’t the sweetest dessert, drizzling just a touch of dulce de leche on top of it will turn it into something that anyone with a sweet tooth will fall in love with.
Brownies
Chocolate and Dulce de Leche is a combination that sadly isn’t as common as it should be. Whether you add dulce de leche to brownie batter or simply drizzle it on top of a pan of this chocolatey dessert, you’ll find that the flavor quotient absolutely explodes.
