Hey folks! I hope you are doing well.

I cannot say I’ve been a good blogger over the last two weeks in terms of posting and checking out my fellow bloggers’ posts. It’s been crazy busy time, and I am really dreadful about next week. So many things are supposed to happen at work including a summer student who starts tomorrow working with me and who will be working independently for over two weeks.

On the other hand, I will need to be strong just for a couple of days as my vacation starts on Thursday. Yay to this. I bet I will not even notice the long flight to Croatia (which includes two stops), as I will be happily sleeping most of its time :)

Anyway, I am going to keep it short and sweet today.

Dulce de Leche Spread

You probably know my love for dulce de leche, don’t you? So I am excited to share with you this Dulce de Leche Spread!

In fact, I was working on a different recipe that required a creamy and thick dulce de leche sauce (Hopefully, I will share that one with you after my vacation.) And then I realized that the sauce was so good on its own that it easily can be turned into a tasty spread. After all, we all love chocolate spreads, so why not a span with dulce de leche?

This spread is super easy to make – just like 10 minutes plus time for chilling. Basically this spread reminds a caramel cheesecake: rich, silky, and somewhat even airy. You can enjoy it on a toast, with crepes, pancakes, French toasts, or even use it as a cake frosting. Well, you can even eat it strait from the bowl / jar – no judging. You can also thin it up by adding some light cream or milk to make a sauce for dipping.
