Thanks for the comparisons! I just opened a can of Nestle brand "La Lechera" dulce de leche, and must say, it has a very thick texture, not runny at all, and a nice mild caramel flavor. Not quite as flavorful as if I'd made dulce de leche myself, but definitely adequate for making banoffee pie or something similar. Check it out!

Just found this tip for my Eagle Brand dulce de leche. Spot On!! It went from a runny syrup (still tasty) to a nice thick caramel I can spread in my alfajores.
Thanks!!

What are the ingredients in the Havana brand? It's probably hard to find here in the US, but it would be fun to try and recreate it at home! đŸ˜€
Thanks!

Clearly you have never been to Argentina. You would have known Havana is gift from God and is the standard to which all dulce de leech should be compared.

Thank you! I actually made my own dulce de leche from scratch, but after refrigeration it seemed a little too thin. Taste amazing! đŸ˜‰ I was looking everywhere online to see if it’s possible to cook it a little longer after cooling to thicken it. Your article answered my question!

I am from Argentina and in my opinion Eagle Brand tastes a lot like Caramel. I live in Canada and the PC brand dulce de leche is just the flavour of Argentinean dulce de leche.
I wish they sold a bakers dulce de leche, thanks for the boiling down option, it can get sticky but soooo worth it!!!

I have also found it at our local grocery store. You should give that one an evaluation!

Hello! I'm from Argentina. Excuse my bad english.

You must try the Dulce de Leche "Havanna". Or Dulce de Leche Estilo Colonial made by "la SerenĂ­sima".

Saludos!

It's true! Your initials are ADD, lol! Thanks for the microwave suggestion. I am definitely going to give that a try because that sounds like a great idea đŸ™‚

Just pour your condensed milk jar into a glass or microwave friendly large bowl, and power off! Check it every couple of minute and stir, at least the first time you make some because timing varies with each microwave.
Perfect for your ADD!
