- 2 liters of milk.
- 1 lb of sugar.
- 1 stick of cinnamon.
- ½ teaspoon of baking soda.
Add all the ingredients in a pot, the milk, the sugar, the cinnamon, and the baking soda, and bring them to medium heat, stirring constantly from the moment it starts to heat up.
After about 40 to 50 minutes of cooking, you will notice that the mixture starts to take a pale caramel color, when this happens, reduce the heat to low and do not stop stirring at any time.
After another 40 minutes, you will notice that the color becomes much stronger and the mixture much thicker. Keep stirring.
Once you stir and can see the bottom of the pot, remove it from the heat and distribute the mixture in individual containers if you wish. Let it rest and it's ready.
· You must stir without stopping the mixture, that is the secret.
· Normally, this dessert tastes great after it cools.
· This arequipe dessert is also known as dulce de leche.
