Made this liqueur without the dulce de leche as I couldn't find it in the supermarkets, so instead I used a tin of Carnation Caramel and it worked out great. The result was really tasty!

Just came across this and made it, its delice! Will be making it for friends n family as soon as i make another batch as i'm sure i'll be polishing this lot off tonight, hic!

Toffee sauce in Rachel Allen 'Bake' recipe (goes with her equally delicious sticky toffee pudding) I feel sure would work a treat instead of the Dulce de Leche. I've noticed the Caramel condensed milk cans now have a little flag on the can 'dulce de leche' too - save anyone decorating their ceiling!
Bring on the next batch :)

If I had known it tasted this good I would have made it years ago! Made some on Tuesday & took into Lobbs Farm Shop where I work for staff & Customers to try. Staff, all but one, enjoyed it & will be having some as Christmas presents along with brandy butter & Customers wanted to buy it! Recipe says it will keep for 2 weeks - mine lasted about 24 hours - devine!

I make this as gifts every Christmas and my friends love it. It's also great made with whisky or Rum.

I got it a bit wrong - used a large pot of single cream (600ml/21.1fl.oz) as I didn't read the amounts carefully. And it was STILL fabulous.

Very easy to make and tastes fantastic.

ooo just to add, I didn't have enough Brandy and ended up using what I had in the house which was 100ml Brandy, 200ml Whiskey, delicious!

Oh my goodness this is lovely. So easy to make and a lot easier to drink, too easy. I love Baileys so to have a recipe for it is wonderful.
Like it says above these would make ideal gifts. If I could rate this more than 5 stars I would. Yum.

I just made this as had cream I needed to use, its fab!!!! gonna make it again :)

How long does this keep for?

mmm...looks delicious. Does anyone know how best to store this and how long it keeps?

a definate winner great for gifts and much better than Baileys

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.

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

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.

I made this with Whisky and it is fantastic, so easy to make.

Could i make this with Vodka instead of brandy? Have got a couple of half bottles of vodka in the house

Hi somerfield are selling carnation caramel (dulce de leche ) on offer at the moment 2 397g tins fr £3.00. You can find it next to the ordinary carnation milk.
I am making this over the weekend so will update you then

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