How to Make Rum Dulce De Leche

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
  2. Pour one (14 ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Cover tightly with aluminum foil, ensuring no water seeps in.
  3. Place the pie plate in a larger roasting pan. Carefully pour enough boiling water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the pie plate.
  4. Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the dulce de leche is thick and a deep golden brown color.
  5. Check the water level around the pie plate after 45 minutes. If necessary, carefully add more boiling water to maintain the water level.
  6. Carefully remove the pie plate from the roasting pan using oven mitts. Let the dulce de leche cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. Once completely cooled, stir in 1/4 cup of dark rum and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  8. Your Rum Dulce De Leche can be made up to 2 days in advance. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
