Description

Instant Pot Dulce De Leche (Caramel) is SO easy! You will have attractive dulce de leche in 35 minutes, with essentially no effort at all!

Ingredients

1 (14- ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

Transfer sweetened condensed milk to a glass jar with a sealed lid. Place the trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker and place the jar on the trivet. Fill the Instant Pot with water until it’s about an inch beneath the lid of the jar (above where the condensed milk is and below the lid). Close the Instant Pot, ensuring the valve is closed, and choose Manual, High Heat, 35 minutes. It will take about 30 minutes to heat up since there’s a considerable amount of water in the pot.
When it’s done cooking, quick release the steam, and open the pot. Using tongs, remove the jar from the water, or allow it to cool before removing.
Transfer the jar to a wire rack and funky totally before opening the lid. The dulce de leche will be bubbling inside the jar for a little bit of time. Do not open the jar, as pressure has built. Wait until it cools!

Notes

Optional can method – Remove paper label from the can of sweetened condensed milk. Open the top and remove the lid. Cover the top tightly with foil. Place in Instant Pot on top of trivet and fill until water is 3/4 way up the can. Follow instructions as above from here. I prefer the method of using foil rather than the can lid, because you can remove the foil without fear of explosion as a result of pressure. This is in fact why I prefer the glass jar method best, because I can see inside the jar, and can see when it stops bubbling.
