I used the oven method and cooked it one hour and 15 minutes. So yummy! Used it to make low fat ice cream, but the extra was good for so many things. Next time I will try the microwave method. You can use nonfat condensed milk and it still tastes awesome!

I used this recipe because it had micrwave directions. Very tasty! My only problem was that it got to be a little "crystalized". But that was solved by using a hand mixer while it was still warm. I put this in the fridge & the next day, made ice cream. I added this & some chopped pecans to the ice cream. It was a hit at our dinner party! Some of the Dulce de Leche had settled to the bottom of the ice cream - not much, but that wasn't a problem at all. Very very good. All the recipes I used are in my menu "Mexican Dinner Party". Thank you very much for the alternative cooking methods - I was too scared to try the "heat-in-the-unopened-can" method some had mentioned!

I used the oven method and found it superior to every other way of making dulce de leche I've tried before--the microwave method, which always makes me nervous for some reason, and the laborious stovetop method. I hate paying extra for pre-made dulce de leche when I can make my own, especially when it doesn't require hours spent watching the stove. I made this as a filling for bars, and it's totally delicious. Thanks so much for the easiest and most practical dulce de leche recipe I've seen yet!

This is a really easy and convenient way to make dulce de leche. I used the oven method and and am going to make dulce de leche ice cream tomorrow.

Wowsers this is good!! I made it using the oven method and left it in the oven for 2 hours as that is how long I had it on for something else. Next time I might even cook it longer and see how it turns out! REally good caramel!! Di

This comes out perfectly and is much safer than making the cajeta in the can over a stove top. It is how I made the dulce de leche in Tres Leches Coconut Cupcakes With Dulce De Leche Buttercream. A keeper!

This tasted wonderful and I appreciate having a way to make dulce de leche since I can't find it where I live. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that the first time I made it I cooked it too long (17 min. on my 1100 watt microwave) and it was hard as a rock! The second time I was really careful and I am not sure if I cooked it long enough but I thought the consistency was okay for the recipe I was using (Dulce De Leche Banana Pie Supreme Dulce De Leche Banana Pie Supreme) so I think I did better. It is kind of difficult figuring out how long to cook it without going too far!

In Brazil we use the pressure; the longer you cook, the harder it will get. You can cook long enough to be able to slice it (it also gets darker too).
