So, what makes condensed milk so special? Well, for starters, it's ultra-rich and creamy, which gives the caramel its signature smooth and velvety texture. And because it's already super sweet, you won't need to add any extra sugar - bonus!
Now, let's get to the fun part - making the caramel! Simply pour the condensed milk into a saucepan, add a pinch of sea salt and a pat of butter, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly. It's like watching a magic trick unfold before your eyes - the mixture will start to thicken and turn golden brown, filling your kitchen with the most divine aroma!
As you stir, you'll notice the caramel starting to darken and thicken - this is where the magic happens! Keep stirring until it reaches your desired level of doneness - some like it light and drizzly, while others prefer it thick and gooey.
