Qu'est-ce que le/la/l'Dulce De Leche ?
Dulce de leche is a confection prepared by slowly heating sweetened milk, traditionally cow's milk, until it caramelizes and thickens into a rich, creamy, and spreadable sauce. Originating in Latin America, its name translates literally to "candy of milk" or "sweet of milk."
"While often perceived as just a topping, dulce de leche can be deeply integrated into batters and doughs, imparting a unique moistness and complex caramelized flavor that plain caramel cannot replicate."
