This delicious and unbelievably simple Single Ingredient Caramel Sauce (sometimes referred to as dulce de leche) is amazing on its own as a fruit dip and also a fun ingredient to incorporate in all sorts of desserts.
Remove can labels and place cans in a stock pot. Cover completely with water and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and allow to simmer for three hours. Make sure your cans are always covered with water, do not allow pot to boil dry!
Remove pot from heat and allow to cool. When cans are cool enough to handle, remove them from pot and allow to cool completely.
SLOW COOKER
Remove can labels and place cans on their side in your slow cooker. Cover completely with water and place lid on cooker.
Set to high for 6 - 8 hours, or low for 8 - 10 hours.
Turn slow cooker off and allow contents to cool. When cans are cool enough to handle, remove them from pot and allow to cool completely.
INSTANT POT
Open cans and pour sweetened condensed milk into an oven safe bowl that will fit into the interior pot of your pressure cooker (I use a small stainless steel bowl).
Pour 2 cups of water into the inner pot of the instant pot, then place bowl with sweetened condensed milk in too.
Set to manual for 45 minutes, then allow a natural pressure release. Blend cooked caramel with an immersion blender (or in your upright blender) until smooth.
