Caramel. One of those things we all LOVE to eat, but is literally one of the messiest things ever to make on the stove. And good luck rinsing those pots/pans/utensils. At least you'll get muscles after doing it since it takes some serious scrub work.
All you really need to achieve an amazing caramel is one thing: a can of sweetened condensed milk. And the Instant Pot is going to see to it that you have absolutely ZERO mess or hassles to deal with during the clean up.
And as if making this in the Instant Pot wasn't the best part, the things you can DO with this know no limitations. Have it Dulce de Leche style with some sea salt sprinkled on top - dip apples, cakes and pretzels in it, make a caramel pie, serve it with ice cream. Whichever you choose, you cannot go wrong because...CARAMEL!

I always enjoyed dulce de leche as a child. When made with the cans produced from Mexico, they have a very special taste. We used to remove the label from the can and boil the can when we made beans. When the beans were done, the dulce was done. This is so much faster for sure. Love it!
Years ago (late 70's!!) in NYC my Cuban Friend invited me to the BIG Family Sunday Dinner. I'll never forget the first time I tasted Dulce de Leche at her Mother's Home. After Dinner, Mrs "R". brought a large Saucepan right off the Stove & it had 12 Spoons laying all around the Pan. She then grabbed a trivet and set that Pan right in the middle of the Table. Mrs "R" didn't speak a lot of English but she noticed my puzzled face so tapped my arm & gestured, "Watch me". She reached over, grabbed a spoon, and gave it a deep twirl in the pot. Then she handed me the spoon like a Popsicle stick & gestured for me to take a large Lick. Everyone followed suit and each took the nearest spoon and we all sat around the Table, laughing and licking this incredible concoction. I swear it was THE most delicious thing I had ever eaten. I couldn't believe it. I was invited to the Family Dinner for many Sunday's over the next few years and Mrs "R" always made sure she made a large Pot of my favorite treat for, assuredly, her most appreciative Guest!
Made this earlier today. Drizzled some over a cup of my Instant Pot Cold Start homemade greek style yogurt. A M A Z I N G ! ! !
We tried it tonight and it was great with 1) vanilla ice cream 2)apples. Thank you for sharing the recipe. Now going to my elliptical machine!
Actually, my mother has been making this for 40 years in a pressure cooker. I just made 4 cans this weekend. Just peel the label off, lay the unopened cans on their sides, on a strainer inside the pressure cooker, cover the cans with at least one inch of water, cook on high pressure for 12 minutes, removed from heat and allow the pressure cooker to depressurize and cool naturally. Delicious! Enjoy!
How long can you keep them without going bad? Thanks
This is the BEST!! I am so glad you showed us one to do *safely* instead of the possibly-explode-and-kill-you method, that is cooked in a sealed can! Mine turned out FANTASTIC! Although, I did go against your recipe a little by not letting it sit for 20 minutes. Let's be honest...I couldn't wait! I decided to just plunge ahead and hold the can with a towel and stir after waiting about 4-5 minutes. Turned out to be the best thing, because stirring helped get all that thick milk that settles on the bottom and in the crevices up; because it was still nice and super hot, which made it melt into the other milk on the top. As a result, it actually was almost perfectly smooth when all was said and done. Thanks for this awesome way to make it!
Right? The UA-camrs claiming you don’t have to open the can first, lose all credibility with me. 🤦🏻♀️
Another really good way to use this for a pie filling is to fold it into cool whip or a similar thing in an equal amount before putting it in the pie crust. The end result is fluffier and still very good.
In Peru, they put this stuff between 2 large plain biscuits. Best sandwich cookies ever!
There called ALFAJORES de dulce de leche 😋😋
I just did it you way as my can was open. Pressure cooked it for 45 minutes. It looks great! Thank you.
In Chile we call this Manjar (pronounced Manhar) its so yummy and to think all these years we`ve been boiling the can on a stove top pot with hopes of it not exploding haha.
Nunca le hemos sacado la tapa en Chile
Here I am stuck in PA on a snowy March day, and I just happen to have s can of sweetened condensed milk. I must try this! Thanks for the simple dessert/caramel sauce idea! My bored teenagers will love it!
Laura Kleban same here ! It is still snowing over here in central pa
Yessss perfect for my coffee too! It's too easy to burn caramel on the stove top. Thanks again, Jeffrey!
OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Excellent idea!!!
Chris cook for you
This was unbelievable - unbelievably easy and unbelievably yummy. We taste tested it without the vanilla extract and it so did not need a drop of it.Thanks for a fabulous recipe. We had it over cheesecake tonight. There's enough left over after covering the cheesecake that I have no idea what we'll do with it. I suspect it will disappear before that's decided.
Wow! I was cooking cans in a pot of water for 4 hours and babysitting the pot adding water to keep the level up…..thank you so much for this!! I like to add it inside my chocolate cupcakes and my buttercream frosting!! Every recipe of yours I’ve tried…we LOVE!! I just got an instant pot Christmas 2020
Just made this and I drizzled it over cheese cake! OMG! So good! Thanks, Jeffrey!
Wow, I just got a new instant pot on Christmas. I might try to do this. Thank you!
- In Mexico, it’s spread on pancakes. Try it! 😋
- I’d also suggest to use it in a caramel poke cake!
- cake, cupcakes, & ice cream topping, or drizzled on for looks.
- pumped into muffins, donuts, etc
- drizzle on bananas
- oh the ideas!
Thank you so much for the receipt....great introduction clear want to help and honest no run around.....God bless 🙏
I cook mine with the sealed can, and keeping the label on, because the glue will stick to the paper, I cook 5 at a time. For an hour for a darker color! I never had one explode yet, I fill till the water is above the top on the cans.
The reason he says no sealed can is because if you open a hot can right away it bursts and can give you burns, the worst part is sugar sticks so it burns into your skin and sticks. As I've been watching a bunch of recepe videos on this I've seen alot of people saying they have scares and burns. It's not that when you do it it has been safe you've just been lucky. If you wanna keep doing it its cool, I just didnt wanna not let you know and then get burned. Best wishes
Jessica Cecil it works, I use a pressure cooker so it only coos for an hours. And I keep the cans in the water, and pour cold water over it to cool it down, 30 minutes later and it ready to be used.
I saw two videos that used a sealed can, with water to cover the can by an inch, then let it cool. So I don’t understand why the presenter said to take the top off
I made this on the stove and it takes about 3 hours! Oh my less than about 45 minutes for the whole process. I add to coffee!!!!
Oh my goodness. Just made this. It was so easy and absolutely devine.
I see that as a topping for a cheesecake 😊
Janice Levin that sounds so good 😊 just might have to try it...Easter is coming lol
In some countries it is used on baked goods like cake and cupcakes for filling or icing 😕 and it is as easy as boiling the can and then letting it cool down
I don't understand how you're not as big as a house! This looks yummy yummy!
I would not cook in the can because of the lining. But I would totally cook it in a dish with foil over it. Yummmmm
Props for pronouncing dulce correctly! As a Spanish teacher, I expected to cringe when I watched this as most cooking videos pronounce it dul-che. 👍🏻👍🏻
That AP Spanish helped.
I have always made it on the stove top. Can't wait to try it in the Instant Pot. Vanilla is not necessary though 🙂.
You saved my butt with this recipe! I forgot to make my dulce de leche the day before (always cook it in the can on the stove top) and other wise would not have had time. This came out perfectly. Game changer!
OMG....Thank you!😋
My Mom makes this over the stove and it takes a long, long time.
I just got mine. 2 days ago. Im cooking steak now with loads of veggies. Watching and looking for new and healthy foods. This is as natural- sneaky- cheating as I can get. OMG thank you. Just subscribed!!!! Althea
NOW how to make wine with it. LOL
made it yesterday, worked like a charm, thanks!
Gonna make this to be a filling for my decadent chocolate cake! 😍😍😍
I've made this with sealed cans and with out trivet. You just have to fully submerge it under water. You'll here can rattling it took 30 minutes and I did a quick release
One reason many of us like alternate methods like the one in this tutorial is because of the explosion possibility with a sealed can. If you are willing to take that risk, that is fine but for many of us we prefer not to take that risk and love that there are other, safer ways to achieve the same goal.
does it work with low fat condensed milk ?
I love dulce de leche! I will try this recipe, thanks! I love dulce de leche on bread: a layer of butter and another of dulce de leche, yummy!
What an easy and SAFE way to make caramel! Trying this out 😍
Thank you Jeffery really enjoyed this with some apples tonight :)
Could you do two cans at same time. For the same 40 minutes?
Yes
You can cook as many cans that will fit, just don't take the kids off. If you cook with the kids on, you can store the caramel for as long as the expiry date on the condensed milk can. If you remove the lid like in this video, you have to eat within a few days.
Wonder how that'd mix into a creme brulee
They sell it already as Caramel dulce de leche.. had never seen this process of yours til today. Cool.
How many cans can you make at one time
I make 5
How would I go about making this into a syrup or thin sauce.
Hey, thank you so much for the video. I followed the instructions exactly but my dulce de leche came out very light in color. Could it be the type of condensed milk? Thanks
I'm doing this right now, question: how can I make a coffee creamer with this? I have a bottle of whipping cream, I thought I could mix some of this with that.
Awesome! What do you think of doing multiple cans at once? I was thinking three should fit the trivet well - any idea if that would work or what you’d have to change the time to?
same time, if it is one or 3
Wow!!
Try it with a caning jar
Thanks for sharing...
Since you spent some time in the Midwest, are you also okay with people pronouncing this car-mull? I know that pesky “a” is in there, but some of us can’t seem to get above our raisin’. 😀
Kimb Stewart I'm originally from upstate New York and we always pronounced it car-mull too. According to my dictionary, both pronunciations are correct.
Can you make a cake frosting with this? If so do you have a recipe? I love your videos and I have bought your cook books. Thanks for being so great.
Have a beautiful day.
Oh my gravey how awesome is that? Thank ya
In my country they say the best things in life are either illegal or fattening. I'm making this tonight.
Thanks god.after watching all those same methods of caramalizing condensed milk finally i found a solution bcz ihave got an open can..thanks
How long can you keep it without going bad
Could you stir in the vanilla before cooking
You can but most of the flavor will evaporate because of the alcohol in the vanilla extract. If you used vanilla paste you def could and get a much tastier product.
can you put the vanilla in before you cook it? maybe that will keep it smooth. also I want to put some in the bottom of a cupcake and then drizzle it on top. it needs to be thicker for inside the cupcake so do I refrigerate it or do I just cook it longer in the instapot? and can I then heat a little up again for the drizzle? thanks for your help. :0)
You’re to funny,! However, love your simple steps! Gracias
How long should you cook if you have two cans?
What is the shelf-life, and does it have to be refrigerated all the time? Just tried it today, and it tasted so dang good, I am thinking it will make very sweet gifts...
Excellent!!!!
thank you for this! just made my first homemade dulce de leche with my instantpot :)
Can you make more than one can at a time?
Do you store it in the fridge? How long would it be good for if you did store it in the fridge??
that would be great to add to coffee or hot chocolate
When you put water in, should it be boiling water or cold?
love this!!!!!!
I grew up in Miami around Cuban families. We used to always make Dulce de Leche in the can -- it is NOT Caramel, as Caramel is made differently, by melting sugar with butter. I've made Dulce de Leche in the sealed can a dozen times in my Instant Pot with only one cup of water.
I really don't see a need to remove the top of the can and then replace it with foil. I know a bunch of people who have done that and gotten water in their Dulce de Leche. The canning process involves pressure, so putting the can in a pressure cooker is not a problem. At worst, a defective can might break open -- in which case you would not want to eat it anyway.
You are an (adorable) inspiration! Xoxo
Could you do several cans at once?
Would this work to make turtle candies? Does it firm up when cooled completely?
Hey Jeff love your videos and recipes. I made this Caramel to put on a cheesecake. It was a big hit. Question, once you make it does it need to be refrigerated? I refrigerated mine and I had to put in the microwave. Keep the recipes coming
Yes, keep in fridge, glass is best with a tight fitting lid.
Hope Noneya thank you. I figured with no preservatives it would mold
How would you make it into frosting for a cake or even a glaze!!
Heating it up will thin it out enough to pour over something, as for frosting, use about 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp table salt, and add 2 tablespoons of caramel, add more as need for consistency.
Looks great but if anyone has to print off this recipe I’m gonna seriously question our educational system lol
But then again they probably shouldn’t be fooling around with a pressure cooker.
Close trim looks good on you, Jeffrey.
Mmmm...YUMMY!! 😋💖
Oh No you didn't bust out with the Marvin Gaye.... "How Sweet It Is to be Loved by You".... I gotta try this! ♥
How long after is it good for?
Can you add more than 1 can?
Yes and no need to open the cans
Diego thanks so much
can i do more than one can at a time?
Yes, I have done 5 at a time.
Puedes poner la lata por 30 minutos con agua hasta cubrirla sin tener que abrir la lata
This is how I am making an O'Charley's caramel pie knockoff.
Jeff, can you do 2 cans in the same amount of time?
Did you try 2 cans ?
Could you do more than 1 can at a time if you had more you needed for a dish?
I could just watch videos of eating different foods that you like!
How long will it last in the fridge ? I use caramel to flavor coffee
About 2 weeks, just make sure the container is air tight.
I have been keeping the lid on my condensed milk can for 20 yrs...works just fine.
It does work just fine -- until it doesn't. My neighbor also made hers that way for years with no issue until one day the can exploded. I love that we have safe alternatives for making dulce de leche, like the one in this video, that comes out just as delicious.
@@SuzetteG316 What about just puncturing a hole in the lid or slightly pulling the tab up, depending on the style of can?
Do you have a Kahlua Flan recipe?
i don't like to use aluminum since it's really bad for our bodies can i use parchment paper?
You don't want water going into the milk, not sure if it would collect under and drip.
Me neither! I was thinking maybe use the pot-in-put pot method, or maybe put a ramekin that's just a little larger than the can upside down over it?
I've never seen dulce de leche that lumpy and that runny. However, we make it inside the sealed can and just remove the paper label completely, turn the can on its side and put it into the pressure cooker (electric nowadays), add water going halfway up the can, and pressure cook it for 40 minutes. Once done, we let it cool for a couple of hours unopened and put it in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight and then open the can when it is cold. Alternately, you can leave it out at room temperature and it will keep for well over a month if unopened. Once opened, it should be refrigerated. The result of doing it this way is that the dulce de leche will be extremely smooth, thick and creamy. Dulce de leche does not require any other ingredients like vanilla extract or sea salt. It tastes delicious on its own. That is the way Cubans make dulce de leche and, in my experience, the way most Hispanics make it. That is not to say that your way is wrong or that it may not taste good the way you made it. But, personally, I wouldn't call what you made dulce de leche. More like dulce de leche sauce with vanilla extract and sea salt.
If I left it in the IP for longer, would it get thicker or burn??
Thanks Jeff.
I've made this many times in a regular pot with boiling water, it takes hours, the longer you cook it, the firmer it gets. Let it cool in the can after cooking, then remove the other end of the can with a can opener and push the caramel out from the other end. It will come right out of the can keeping its shape. Slice and serve!
Ernesto Ghinaglia
Thanks Mr. Ernesto!

can I put this over popcorn to make caramel popcorn balls?
Ohhh what a great idea! I'm going to pop some corn and give it a try.
That stuff would be excellent in my morning latte, look out Starbucks!
John McCaffery What I was thinking! I’m going to make some tonight to use in the morning! 🤤
😕 hopeless Americans
I am so glad I found this recipe... NOT lol. It's so good that I have to lock it up to stay away from it. I never made it before due to the time involved, but this way is so fast. Wonderful. Thanks
Can you freeze it?
Yes.
I did more than one can (4) and it wasnt cooked enough. I'm putting them back in for 25
Is this appropriate for caramel corn?
Terry Thompson I don’t think it would work for caramel corn. It isn’t cold to the hard candy stage but it does make great home made Turtles.
Just made this. Can you say delicious?
My mom used to make that for homemade chocolate. She was a professional baker.
Making it now... for apples.
Ok..so now it could have aluminum flavor due to the foil changing🤔 it looks good😋
Didn’t work for me . #whatawaste 😩
Could you make candy out of this method? Shape pieces out and refrigerate them?
