How to Make Crockpot Dulce De Leche
Place an oven-safe dish (approximately 6-inch diameter) into a four-quart slow cooker.
Pour one (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk into the oven-safe dish.
Carefully pour hot water into the slow cooker, surrounding the dish, until the water level reaches about 3/4 of the way up the sides of the dish.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the dulce de leche has reached your desired consistency (it will thicken as it cools).
Carefully remove the hot dish from the slow cooker using oven mitts. Let it cool completely before serving. The dulce de leche will continue to thicken as it cools.
