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.

Hi – I’m Ben, a blogger, recipe developer, and food photographer. I’m glad you’re here! I hope you will enjoy hundreds of delicious recipes and a pinch of havoc in the kitchen.
I’ve always loved Nutella and cookie butter, so I’m definitely excited to try this one out. The fact that it only takes 10 minutes to make is such a plus. I can already imagine spreading it on some toast or using it as a cake frosting – it sounds so rich and silky.
I think of your suggestion that this be used as a cake icing is brilliant – I can only imagine how good it tastes! I really hope you got through all the stress and got that plane nap you deserved!
Oh I love this idea! It’s like Nutella…except it’s dulce de leche. I need this spread on a piece of grain bread ASAP! Enjoy the well-earned vacation. I can’t wait to see photos!
