How do I use my Dulce de Leche (DdL)?

Hello there! This week my goal is to give you as many ways as possible to turn yourself into a ‘DdL’ addict... continue reading and see if you can resist!

Skinny DdL: Cut and slice an apple (banana, peach, pear, or whatever fruit is in season) and dip them one by one into the jar of DdL (yum!)
Lunchbox DdL: Toast two slices of wholegrain bread and spread a generous amount of DdL on it (this is the perfect midnight snack!)
DdL Icecream: Chill and mix well a can of Evaporated Milk (until it doubles in volume). Add two jars of DdL and mix. Pour the mixture into serving cups. Sprinkle some grated chocolate and freeze (you’ll love it!)
Dulce Latte
: Put one tablespoon of DdL on the bottom of your favorite cup/mug. Make a shot of espresso & steam 10oz milk. Pour hot milk and espresso in the cup. Dust with ground chocolate, cinnamon or nutmeg (I just had one…).

Guilty DdL
: Wash your hands and choose your prettiest finger (preferably the pointer).
Dip that lucky finger in the DdL jar, eat it right away, and smile for the rest of the day! (you might get addicted..)

I still have more ideas in my back pocket ... do you?
Write your DdL suggestion/recipe/idea and win a free Alfajor at the market!

See you on Saturday!

Think about this:

Sweet, hot mustard. But what if the sweetness comes from Dulce de Leche? Try it. It's Good. Blended some of my DDL with store-bought mustard, and ready to try my own home-made mustard/DDL blend now.

Or BBQ sauce. Some of the best are a mix of sweet and spicy. What if you mix your own spice with the sweet of DDL? Fantastic. Some ancho, maybe some cayenne, chipotle, etc. Sweet with the savoury of a burger? Fantastic.

Try it. Try it now. It Is Good.

And count me out of the running in this comptetition. Having done labels, photos, etc., I'm out of the running.

But be creative!

This is Good Stuff!

1. Mix with peanut butter and then spread on graham crackers or use as a dip for apples and bananas
2. Drizzle over banana cream pie or banana pudding
3. Stir into hot chocolate
4. With a spoon... :)

Hasta el sábado, Maite!

Having made our way through another jar of ddl (what a way to enjoy a holiday weekend), what I love about Maite's dulce is that it is sweet but not too sweet.
Biting into brioche topped w/ ddl, my son & I burst out into simultaneous grins of delight.
