I love Dulce de Leche everything, or Arequipe, as it's called in Colombia!
What is Dulce de Leche?
It's a sweet and creamy caramel sauce made with milk and sugar very popular in Latin America. It's also known as arequipe, cajeta and manjar blanco. Can be eaten on its own or as an ingredient for different desserts.
You can make it from scratch following my homemade arequipe recipe or my short version oven dulce de leche recipe or buy it canned at your local supermarket.
