How to Make Dulce De Leche Balls
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup of fresh cow's milk and 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
- Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and turns a deep caramel color.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large egg yolks until light and frothy.
- Gradually whisk about 1/2 cup of the warm dulce de leche mixture into the egg yolks to temper them, preventing them from scrambling.
- Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture into the remaining dulce de leche and whisk until well combined.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan over very low heat and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
- Once cooled, roll the dulce de leche mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Optional: Roll the balls in chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or cocoa powder for added flavor and texture.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the balls to firm up before serving.
