We need to have a long and detailed discussion about ~dulce de leche.~
FIRST AND FORMOST: It's pronounced dool-seh deh leh-cheh.
It's like caramel, but made with milk. So...BETTER.
The name literally translate to "a sweet made with milk," because this treat is both simple and honest. It would never lie to you.
It can be on the thinner side, perfect for drizzling on top of cakes and beverages, OR a thick cream ideal for layering, OR a dense fudge you eat over the sink bit by bit until you realize you've eaten the entire package.
So. What's the best way to eat dulce de leche?
I mean, eating it straight off a spoon is a TRIED and TRUE classic.
Or you can nestle a whole big glob of it between two cookies and have yourself an alfajor.
And dulce de leche ice cream is almost more greatness than the human race really even deserves.
You can have it in latte form and celebrate the marriage of coffee and dulce de leche.
Please note that dulce de leche LOVES hanging out in a crêpe.
For advanced-level dulce de lechidad, try some IN a churro.
Any way you try it, one thing is true: YOU'LL LOVE IT.
