  Hi, would someone please tell me what Dulce de Leche is as I have never heard of it before and I don't think we have it in New Zealand - is it a type of Baileys Irish?

  Can someone confirm if the cream used for this recipe is single cream only? I only ask because there are two different measurements in the recipe list for cream. If it was just one type of cream then surely only one measurement should be listed right? Can anyone clarify? Thanks.

  This is a fab recipe, really delicious and great as xmas presents for neighbours. The two measurements given for cream are the size of pots that cream tends to be sold in (may be in metric its half a pint and a pint or something). So they're saying you'll need a 142ml and a 284ml pot of cream. Its all single cream. Dulce de leche is a spanish sort of runny toffee sold in a jar. Think you can get it pretty easily in uk supermarkets. In spain its sold in the UHT milk aisle but assuming in uk will be in 'speciality products' or something.

  Hi nondomesticgoddess, Dulce de Leche is a soft spreadable bought toffee in a jar... you can get the same effect by boiling a (sealed) tin can of condensed milk for 2.5hrs (you MUST keep the can covered with water when boiling otherwise you'll explode the can - messy and very dangerous), remove the can from the water and leave to cool completely before opening. I use this in all sorts of things... banoffee pie, heated with double cream to make a creamy toffee sauce for ice cream, etc. hope this helps!

  I've got condensed milk..... is it worth making it with just the condensed milk or do I really have to boil it first??

  This was brilliant! Made it as a treat for my Sister-in-Law who's a big Bailey's fan - and it went down a storm. It's the simplest thing in the world to make - and I ended up with 1 500 ml bottle and 2 250ml bottle - great for gifting! I reckon it's actually a bit nicer that Baileys as it's not quite so sweet, and it's a little bit thicker. I do think I'd make it with decaffeinated coffee next time, as I'm a bit susceptible to the effects of caffeine late at night! Definitely one to be making again.

  Heavenly! I used three quarters Carnation Caramel to a quarter Carnation Light. It works just as well with ordinary condensed milk (not boiled).

  I made this as Christmas presents but with Whisky instead of Brandy as I didn't had loads in the house. It was so easy to make and tasted lovely. I'll definately make this again.
