Ingredients
1 and 1/2 cups Condensed milk
Directions
- Pour the condensed milk into the container and cook on high for 1 minute.
- Take it out and stir with a whisk.
- Put it back – do the same again – keeping a very close eye on it…. if it looks like its going to boil over – stop the microwave immediately, take out the bowl and whisk. Don’t stick your finger in the mixture – it is scalding HOT.
- Next – on 50% power – keep cooking the mixture for one minute at a time – again keeping an eye that it doesn’t boil over. Sometimes you can get caramel in 5 minutes – sometimes 10 – I find the older the tin of condensed milk – the quicker it turns to caramel.
- You know its ready when it is goes slightly ‘yellow’ in colour and the mixture looks very ‘mottled’. Just take it out and whisk until smooth.
Notes
- If you leave the mixture until it goes a caramel colour – it will burn!
- Serve on its on or scoop into a tart shell.
- Not suitable for freezing.
Unless you want to clean up a great big mess…. been there – done that!
