- Prevent it from drying out: Be sure to check the water level in the pot during cooking. If the water evaporates too much, add more to keep the can completely submerged at all times.
- Customize the flavor: If you want an extra kick, you can add a pinch of sea salt to the caramel once you’ve taken it out of the tin, creating a delicious salted caramel. You can also mix in some vanilla extract to give it a deeper aroma.
- Versatility: This caramel is perfect as a filling for cakes, alfajores, or as a topping for ice cream and cakes. You can also use it as a base for desserts such as flan or similar.
- Adjustable time: If you prefer a lighter, softer caramel, reduce the cooking time to about 6 hours. For a darker, thicker caramel, let it cook for about a full 10 hours.
With this very simple method, you can make delicious caramel with just a can of sweetened condensed milk and your slow cooker. No fuss, no need to constantly stir, and with incredible results. Ideal to accompany a variety of desserts or simply enjoy it alone.
Make it and let everyone be amazed at how easy it is!
