Milk Chocolate Dulce de Leche

Many recipes for this Latin American caramel sauce suggest using a can of sweetened condensed milk. But if you make dulce de leche from scratch, as this recipe specifies, you’ll get a delicate sweetness from cooked sugar and fresh milk no canned product can ever match. It is very easy but takes a long time—about 1 1/2 hours, even though all you have to do is give it an occasional stir. Here’s the trick: choose a time when you’ll be in the kitchen awhile—maybe a weekend afternoon or a night you are making another slow-cooked sauce. This version, untraditionally, is flavored with milk chocolate. Serve over ice cream or pound cake.
